Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] address@hidden: nongnu mirror]

Thanks! :)

The empty page comes from:

$ rsync dl.sv.gnu.org::releases/index.html
-rw-r--r--           0 2004/08/31 20:26:08 index.html

because at the time, sysadmin@ believed listing 2500+ projects would
be resource-consuming for both Savannah and the client.


This could be changed to a mirror listing page.
