Renaming a Project (Group)

-We here provide a Savannah-specific solution as a word-around. It's mainly 
about running ``~/infra/maintenance/rename_project.sh``. However, since it's a 
quick script, you're supposed to understand how Savannah works before using it, 
just in case. If you don't, ask someone who does.

-Scripted
---------

-For the sake of example, this is some (not all) of what the script does.  
-
-Rename the group in the database:
-
-* https://savannah.nongnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=id
-
-* or use mysql directly::
-
-  UPDATE groups SET unix_group_name="newname" WHERE group_id="id" AND 
unix_group_name="oldname";
-
-Change the system group name, so that Savane doesn't create a new group:
-
-* Change /vservers/accounts/etc/group
-
-Rename project folders, namely cvs/svn/arch/git/hg/bzr/download.

Web pages
---------

You must explicitly ask sysadmin to rename www.nongnu.org/projname or 
www.gnu.org/software/projname.  Nothing automatically removes the old web pages 
otherwise, so the result is accumulating cruft.

For the sake of example, this is some (not all) of what the script does.  

Rename the group in the database:

* https://savannah.nongnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=id

* or use mysql directly::

  UPDATE groups SET unix_group_name="newname" WHERE group_id="id" AND 
unix_group_name="oldname";

Change the system group name, so that Savane doesn't create a new group:

* Change /vservers/accounts/etc/group

Rename project folders, namely cvs/svn/arch/git/hg/bzr/download.

Etc... good luck ...
