Moving from nongnu to gnu (for Savannah administrators):

  • Change group type.

    This is in the left-hand menu, Site Administration / Main Page -> Browse Group List. Change to GNU and hit the update button.

  • FTP uploads to ftp.gnu.org & alpha.gnu.org are done by the maintainer.

    Contact is ftp-upload@gnu.org, maintainers should follow Automated FTP Upload instructions.

  • Group admins should change their download area to alpha.gnu.org or ftp.gnu.org.

    The change is made by editing the download http:/https: address in Main > Administer > Select Features from the group page. It's just a matter of pointing to the right location, no system action is done (no cron jobs, etc.).

    GNU packages have access to the Savannah download area, but ordinarily shouldn't use it.

  • Launch a curl to update www.gnu.org/software/GROUP -- the appropriate command from mgt1:/opt/administration/curl.txt.

    This will also automatically create a redirection from www.nongnu.org/GROUP to www.gnu.org/software/GROUP. It works via a web service at www.gnu.org maintained by GNU sysadmin.
