Er.. Savannah administration uses svn for its wiki; a private group uses svn to log the offers of new programs people send to GNU. I believe we certainly want to support svn.

Re viewvc, savannah uses it for svn repo browsing. E.g.:
https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/administration/trunk/

Like everything else, it is not fun to make it work with python3, but it is possible. I can send you some build notes if you care.

Certainly easier to stay with older svn and python as long as possible. Especially since (I believe) there is hardly any usage of svn at savannah.

Fine. Just forget about what I said. Savane doesn't depend on those. Savannah uses some of them.

(The emphasis is mine.)

I'm puzzled. TTBOMK, neither frontend nor any backend scripts depend on Mailman. the only Savannah connection to Mailman I can think of is via an unreleased script dwelling in list@lists.gnu.org.

> 2. ViewVC 1.2.y or before, but there is a 1.3.0-dev that uses python 3


Savane doesn't depend on this.

It does work at Savannah.

Could you elaborate? why cgi scripts aren't sufficient?

I don't understand what you are speaking about here.

Thank you; let us fix that.

So far I can only see one minor issue with sv_membersh.

Debian bullseye (-> Trisquel 11) removed all python 2 packages and those who depend on them from the repo. These are the packages that are removed:
1. Mailman 2.1 (lists.gnu), Mailman 3 uses python 3 but Savane can't work with Mailman 3 without a lot of changes in both the frontend and the backend, and replacing lists.gnu is in FSF sysadmin's realm
2. ViewVC 1.2.y or before, but there is a 1.3.0-dev that uses python 3

This doesn't work for me:
3. libnss-mysql, it segfaults

Partially working or needed patches:
4. hgweb's and viewvc's wsgi or fcgi scripts, they depend on python-flup. Only cgi scripts are working
5. loggerhead's wsgi script, I had to hardcode the repo's path in the script
6. sv_membersh's way to invoke "hg serve --stdio" will be aborted because of a safety check (?). It needs to be invoked by a wrapper script "hg-ssh" that comes with mercurial.

Probably there's more.

Please be more specific. we are definitely much more interested in making Savane work with current software than in running it in abstract simulated environments.

Is this being worked on? I'm interested in making a generic qemu image though. A deb package would only get the php and perl scripts installed, and a lot of things may not work. Savane also depends on  deprecated software that is no longer available on debian bullseye or bookworm.

I would like to suggest to have a savane package for debian (or trisquel, etc)
