Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Quartz

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Savannah does not host distributions (sets of software
packages), it hosts individual software or documentation
projects. Maybe you could submit various projects for specific
components of Quartz ?

        Cheers,
