[Savannah-hackers-public] [sr #107077] Setting up bzr+ssh on Savannah.

[Karl Fogel]

Hello, I'd like to help with https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107077,
("bzr+ssh:// preferable to sftp://";).  That is, I'd like to make the
Bazaar smart server [1] available for GNU developers, in particular the
maintainers of GNU Emacs.

I've read http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToBecomeASavannahHacker,
and http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahArchitecture.  I've also
subscribed to this list.  The next steps I'd like to take are:

  1) Reopen SR #107077 (it's currently marked "closed", yet has much
     recent discussion and planning).

  2) With bzr developer Robert Collins, write up a plan for exactly how
     to provide Bazaar bzr+ssh:// access securely on Savannah.  This
     will involve taking various steps mentioned in SR #107077.  Start
     at https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107077#comment20 and read
     upwards if you're curious.

  3) Implement the plan from (2) once it's approved here.

I can start on (2) right away, but I need someone to give me magic bits
to do (1), and some more magic bits later to do (3).  Please tell me
what I should be doing to get those magic bits.

-Karl
