[Savannah-users] removing spam comments from news items

Hi, I just noticed, people have been making junk replies on the FreeFont News items for some time. Look, for example, at the end of https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6518 I can't figure out how to delete them or hide them, or how to not-publish them or whatever I'm supposed to do

Muchas gracias, Karl!

Re: [Savannah-users] new project submissions disabled

Karl, This brings up a more general problem. Although in some departments Savannah and the GNU effort generally seem to be functioning well, I have myself noticed unfortunate lag in others. Furthermore, lately I've noticed several projects that appear to have been abandoned many years ago. I th

Re: [Savannah-users] incorrect link on your webpage

Hi Linda! Fixed it. This is the result of trying to maintain a site by hand with straight HTML. I should find a better way. Don't hesitate to point out any other problems! But...it would be better to write to me directly, or to one of the FreeFont lists https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group

[Savannah-users] SSH key change seems ineffectual

Hi Bob, I am trying to do commits from a new machine. I added its SSH public RSA key on the Savannah web page (for GNU FreeFont project), but for hours, neither SVN nor CVS works for me. Both are asking for a password. Have i forgotten something? Or do key changes have to be authorized by some

Re: [Savannah-users] SSH key change seems ineffectual

Hi, I guess it's OK to send the results of your second test. Something clearly goes haywire with the RSA offering, but I don't know why. I've used this system to ssh to other machines locally and remotely -- this is the first problem I've seen. ssh -v stevan_wh...@cvs.savannah.gnu.org hostname Op
