Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Porting savane from PHP to Perl on version 3.1-cleanup

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello Troye,

This is terrific stuff. Great to see more people interested in GNU Savannah.

-1-
As Karl wrote in the previous email, the GNU Savannah code based situation can 
be a bit confusing (I was sure confused at first, perhaps still am).
The active website behind "http://savannah.gnu.org"; is found in this repository (under 
the "administration" project):
   git://git.sv.gnu.org/administration/savane.git
*not* in the repositories called "savane" or "savane-cleanup" or similar - 
those are similar projects (forks?) that are not directly related to the active production website 
(yet, at least).

More information can be found in past discussions in the 
Savannah-Hackers-Public mailing list:
  
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2013-10/msg00026.html

If your interest is in writing code to be merged and used as quickly as 
possible, then the starting point should be the above git repository.

I've also tried to make Savannah server run locally, though I focused on using 
the existing PHP code with minimal changes to the Perl side.
More technical details here:
  http://files.housegordon.org/gnu-sv/HACKING.html

And I'll be happy to work together on that.

To make it easy to incorporate your additions, I would suggest to send your code changes 
as patches against the existing code (e.g. with "git format-patch") - this will 
make it easier for all other hackers on the mailing list to view and learn from your 
changes (and will also make emails much smaller).


Thanks!
