This site is a central point for development, distribution and maintenance of Libre Software (Free Software) projects.
Gna! provides Source Code Repositories (CVS, GNU Arch, Subversion), Download Area, Web Pages, Mailing-Lists and Trackers (Bugs, Task, Support Requests, Patches). If you would like to use these facilities to host your project, then go to the Register new project menu entry that is displayed after login.
Most of the documentation is included in the pages themselves, the place where you are most likely to need it. If you want more information, take a look at the Cookbook for howtos or at the In Depth Savane User Guide for issues related to the web interface. If it is not helpful enough to you, fill a Support Request.
If you want to learn more about the Gna! project, its contributors, its policy or its history, please consult the About Gna! page. To be kept in the loop, we suggest that you subscribe to the low traffic list named news.
The hardware of Gna! is provided by FSF France and the bandwidth is offered by Bearstech. The platform is powered by the Savane software.
Gna! was down from Wednesday Feb. 8 circa 11pm until Tuesday Feb. 14 at 6:44 pm.
The hardware had a fatal failure while rebooting after an OS upgrade. It was fixed by parts from another identical server, and the service was restarted as-is (but fully upgraded).
...
Gna! experienced a 20-minutes downtime today following an upgrade of the database.
Three similarly short downgrades are to be expected during the next few days to upgrade other parts of the infrastructure.
A longer downtime (< 2h) is planned on January 30th.
...
We upgraded the Subversion subsystem. SVN itself upgraded from 1.5 to 1.6. Let us know if there's any trouble.
We upgraded the systems for cvs.gna.org, dl.gna.org and also an internal 'members' virtual machine.
Let us know if there's any issue.
Following the password compromise at Savannah, which is also running the Savane Forge, we took the frontend down so we could investigate.
The (earlier) version at Gna! appears not to be impacted by the SQL injection. However it also uses (weak) MD5 hashes for storing encrypted passwords.
...
Gna! was rebooted to fix the recent kernel vulnerability known as CVE-2010-3301.
A part of the system did not start automatically, causing a short (~1/2h) downtime. This is now fixed.
The SVN subsystem was just upgraded, let us know if there's any issue :)
We've done a few reboots to use a newer kernel, install newer VServer utilities, test that everything boots unattended, and hence add the last touch to the virtualization reorganization we've performed over the last few months :)
On other news, there will be a talk about Savane at the LSM/RMLL 2010 - 2010.rmll.info/A-new-Savane.html !
There has been a fairly long (about 48 hours) downtime of both SVN and the mail at gna.org. It should be be back but if you have troubles, please comment on this ticket. You may get help by connecting to irc.freenode.net#gna
