Welcome to Savannah, the software forge for people committed to Free Software:
- We host free projects that run on free operating systems and without any proprietary software dependencies
- Our service runs with 100% free software, including itself
- More...
Savannah aims to be a central point for development, maintenance and distribution of official GNU software. In additions, for projects that are free software but not part of the GNU project we provide savannah.nongnu.org.
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
- savannah-users: discussion of savannah-announce and any user-oriented topic

Within the next few days (this will be precised), Savannah will experience a short interruption for some hardware replacement (RAM).
posted by Beuc, Saturday 05/17/2008 at 23:18 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.

When trying to install a new kernel, we got an error where initrd would apparently failed to setup RAID correctly, but unfortunately it was not possible to get the exact error message via the remote serial interface. For now we're back to the old kernel.

RMS suggested rejecting patches from non-registered users, for both GNU and non-GNU projects, because the FSF legal team recommends against accepting patches from anonymous users. While non-registered users may authenticate their patches by other means (GPG...), this is considered as a first step against anonymous patches.
