Follow-up Comment #6, sr#109703 (group administration):

> > > *Savane* also depends on  deprecated software that is no longer
available on debian bullseye or bookworm.

(The emphasis is mine.)

> Debian bullseye (-> Trisquel 11) removed all python 2 packages and those who
depend on them from the repo. These are the packages that are removed:
> 1. Mailman 2.1 (lists.gnu), Mailman 3 uses python 3 but Savane can't work
with Mailman 3 without a lot of changes in both the frontend and the backend,
and replacing lists.gnu is in FSF sysadmin's realm

I'm puzzled. TTBOMK, neither frontend nor any backend scripts depend on
Mailman. the only Savannah connection to Mailman I can think of is via an
unreleased script dwelling in l...@lists.gnu.org.

> 2. ViewVC 1.2.y or before, but there is a 1.3.0-dev that uses python 3

Savane doesn't depend on this.

> This doesn't work for me:
> 3. libnss-mysql, it segfaults

It does work at Savannah.

> Partially working or needed patches:
> 4. hgweb's and viewvc's wsgi or fcgi scripts, they depend on python-flup.
Only cgi scripts are working

Could you elaborate? why cgi scripts aren't sufficient?

> 5. loggerhead's wsgi script, I had to hardcode the repo's path in the
script

I don't understand what you are speaking about here.

> 6. sv_membersh's way to invoke "hg serve --stdio" will be aborted because of
a safety check (?). It needs to be invoked by a wrapper script "hg-ssh" that
comes with mercurial.

Thank you; let us fix that.

> Probably there's more.

So far I can only see one minor issue with sv_membersh.
