Re: [Savannah-hackers] update requested

[Sylvain Beucler]

I went through almost all the pending support requests. Half of them 
are still
open.

Here is a new 'TODO list', updated. It is currently easier to maintain 
it this way, because notification in support requests does not work yet.

* www.gnu.org projects cannot use their CVS repository; we need to know 
if it is back, and what is the new repository path 
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00105.html 
and 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00114.html). 
The CVS HTML page at https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnutls, for 
example, should be updated, since the cvs "instruction set" is missing.
The repository seems to be /webcvs/www/www/<wwwproject> but is empty.

* The e-mail change is not properly working: some users cannot receive
lost passwords
Source: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=102802
It also happens with new accounts:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=102848
Notify: address@hidden, address@hidden,
address@hidden, address@hidden, address@hidden (npcom)

* Cc notification in support requests are not received; there is a bug
request in the savannah group about that (I do receive notification
when I submit a bug, though). It makes me hard for me to check support
requests. In addition, some features produces a warning about sending
mail: asking for e-mail change, and submitting a membership request.

* Fix the mailing-lists creation

* File upload seems to be unreliable. (address@hidden takes care of 
this)

* Fix the permissions in jcurzez's source repository
Source: 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00193.html
Notify: address@hidden

* Change e-mail adress of user 'georgesk' from the now non-existant 
address@hidden to address@hidden -- once he is 
identified.
Same for user blytkerchan (address@hidden -> address@hidden)
Same for user cfry (address@hidden -> address@hidden)

* Reactivate the cvs repository tarballs
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00099.html
and
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00096.html).
Maybe could we also use bzip2 instead of gzip long the way? And how
about daily snapshot?

* There are also some nongu projects to move to sv.gnu.org.  Notify:
address@hidden (gtick), address@hidden (freedink/dink), <dale_mellor>
(mcron), address@hidden (GUSS)

* The fact CVSROOT is not world-writable is problematic for some
projects
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00120.html).
Notify: address@hidden

* This also implies cvscommit is not possible. I saw a reference to a
workaround w/o giving CVSROOT access, but I do now know more.
Notify: address@hidden, address@hidden

* Check why there are problems with gcc's repository when using tags. 
It seems that making val-tags from CVSROOT may be a solution 
(https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=102807)

* Check the Python error at 
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gcc/gcc/?only_with_tag=gcc_3_2_3_release 
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00097.html). 
It seems it is not related the problem above, since it does not happen 
with mldonkey.

* Provide a way for users to delete their account

* (or) send a e-mail to the address of the account 'colossal', check
whether this person definitely want its account to be deleted, and
delete it by hand
(http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00113.html)
Same for 'Isam'
(http://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=102800)

* The "Help Support" link is misunderstood by several visitors, who 
post help request about a specific project

* A FAQ for creating the GPG key (with an emphasis on the fact it is 
very straightforward since people complain) could be added.
Draft: 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=102738

* There are several typos on the website:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2004-02/msg00184.html

* There is a PHP warning when using Opera and being a non-priviledged
user and replying to a support request. It does not prevent the
comment from being posted, though.
https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=102779

* Is there an estimation on when projects registration can be processed 
again?
