I'm going to truncate my reply quite heavily, since many points are either tangential to the problem at hand, or not pertinent to solving it.
I could have created the repositories myself in 5 minutes, as I did in OSDN, if I had access to that resource. We need to be in full control of our resources. We are, as a project. Just not as individuals -- since the GNU project is bigger than that. The Savannah hackers are the ones working on Savannah, just like you are working on GNU Health. Volunteer work means we do things when we have time. Savannah is done entierly based on volunteer efforts of hackers, some have more time, some have less. But there is no commitment from anyone that they must do anything. This is the case for the whole GNU project -- things will simply not get done if someone doesn't put their backs into it. This year has also been far stranger than usual, with all it entails.. The FSF sysadmins are not responsible in setting up Savannah projects. They are responsible for seeing that our hardware runs, and is accessible. The Savannah hackers work on the overall infrasturcture for Savannah. This is not an excuse, it is matter of life. And while I think we all would like to see more Savannah hackers, it is what it is and will take more effort from everyone in understanding the limitations and problems we experience. > I suggest that GNU health moves back to savannah, it isn't too late to > do this. GNU Health is still in Savannah. Mailing lists, bugs, tasks, news, file releases are in place and operational. But the source code is not hosted there, lets try and work that out. You are still open to that, which is great news, so lets put our concentrated efforts on trying to solve that. I think the important question is if creating a sub-directory in a hg repository directory would work? Savannah hackers, what needs to be done to host GNU Health's requirements on Savannah? Luis, can you get back Bob Prolux about his questions about mercurial? I don't think he is an expert in hg so would need some help in answering those questions.
