Importing a repository can be done, but not automatically.  It'll need intervention by one of the savannah administrators.  It might take up to a week for someone to do it, but I don't think it would be a big problem.

Is there a way to migrate the SVN repository from SourceForge to Savannah? We have made more than 250 commits. That's an important information we need to decide leaving SourceForge.

Thanks,
Ricardo

"GêBR core team" is just an alias to the authors, which are specified in AUTHORS file. But if this is not clear or legal, I see no problem in changing this.

This inconsistency of licenses (GPLv2 ou v3) is mainly among distinct subprojects (gebr, libgeoxml, gebrme, and gebrd). Again, I see no problem to adopt GPLv3 for whole code.

About the distinction of "open source" and "free software", we tend to the former just because, in our opinion, it seems more accurate, due to the duality of "free" word. In principle, we agree with both, but like most the former.

I will discuss your suggestions and advices with my colleages, and post another message soon.

Thanks,
Ricardo Biloti

If you agree to discontinue using SourceForge once your savannah
account is set up, then we can proceed with this request.


I had a look at the source code on the SourceForge site. Is the
copyright holder referred to in the copyright notices "GeBR core team
(http://gebr.sourceforge.net/)", a legal entity that can be assigned
copyright?  A legal entity usually means a company, person or legally
incorporated association.  Informal groups have no legal existance and
cannot hold copyright.  If "GeBR core team" is not legally
incorporated, you need to add the author(s)' name(s) instead.  

Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for
more information, and update your files.


I notice that you nominated your licence as GPLv2 or later. Some of
your source files have the preamble to GPLv3+ whilst others have the
preamble for GPLv2+.  This should not be an obstacle to hosting on
savannah, but for consistency it would be best to change them all to
GPLv3 or later.

Also, I noticed in your description the phrase "based on open-source
technologies".  Savannah's mission is to host free software projects,
and we want the public to think of them as free software projects.  A
project description that refers to "open source" will tend to lead people to think
of the project as "open source" instead of "free software".

We would be glad if you accept to use "free software" instead of "open source" in your
project description.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please do so.
Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the
tracker's web interface by following the link below. Do not reply
directly; the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we
will not receive such replies.

Regards,

John

Hi John

Thanks for you response and time. We plan to use Savannah to release GêBR. Indeed, GêBR is already in SourceForge, but we find out that SourceForge's way to upload and distribute releases is hard to manage. In Savannah we could release snapshots daily, in a autoamatic manner. That's our main interest. GêBR development is intense (with several commits per week, many per day somentimes), and interatively upload them in SourceForge is dificult and time-consuming.

We have already build a community around GêBR and it demands for fresh releases. We hope Savannah can help us with this.

About be nongnu you are right. It was my mistake. Perhaps savannah.nongnu.org would be more adequate.

Regards,
Ricardo

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Savannah is a central point for development, distribution and
maintenance of GNU Software.

There is a companion site savannah.nongnu.org where we also host Free
Software projects that are not part of the GNU Project, but run on
free platforms.

I notice that you already appear to be hosting your project on SourceForge.
However, we do not allow to host your project on Savannah and
SourceForge at the same time, if Savannah is just a project mirror.
Your project development should happen primarily on Savannah.

How do you plan to use your Savannah account?


Regards,

John
