Savannah.nongnu.org is a central point for development, maintenance and distribution of Free Software that runs on free operating systems.
If you would like to use these facilities to host your project, then go to the Register new project menu entry.
We provide two mailing lists that you may want to subscribe to:
- savannah-announce: low-volume notifications of important issues and changes at Savannah

If you would like to make your project part of the GNU project, please see the GNU Software Evaluation web page to understand the philosophical and technical aspects of the GNU project. Before doing this, you should read the GNU Code Standards to find out if your software complies with them and talk to your fellow developers about it.

We've switched to CAcert.org https certificates instead of the previously self-signed certificated. CAcert.org offers an alternative way to deliver https certificates based on a web of trust - and their software is GPL'd. More information at http://savannah.gnu.org/tls/

All webpages now immediately synchronize to gnu.org and nongnu.org on CVS commit. Previously this wasn't installed for all projects, and some group type (such as translation teams) didn't update to the right place.
On other news we upgraded the Linux VServer kernel :)

Within the next few days (this will be precised), Savannah will experience a short interruption for some hardware replacement (RAM).
posted by Beuc, Sat 17 May 2008 11:18:52 PM UTC - 0 replies
There was downtime for around 2 hours today, mostly because of a fsck after a reboot.
The cause of the interruption appears to be:
- Numerous archzoom requests triggering an increased number of disk-hungry tla processes.
- Concurrent web crawlers indexing these pages.
- Made worse by a arch.sv.gnu.org => arch.savannah.gnu.org site-wide redirection earlier this week.
tla is temporarily disabled and the load has returned to normal. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
