Welcome to Savannah, the software forge for people committed to Free Software:
- We host free projects that run on free operating systems and without any proprietary software dependencies
- Our service runs with 100% free software, including itself
- More...
Savannah aims to be a central point for development, maintenance and distribution of official GNU software. In additions, for projects that are free software but not part of the GNU project we provide savannah.nongnu.org.
If you would like to use these facilities to host your project, then go to the Register new project menu entry.
We provide two mailing lists that you may want to subscribe to:
- savannah-announce: low-volume notifications of important issues and changes at Savannah
- savannah-users: discussion of savannah-announce and any user-oriented topic
Our https certificate is signed by the CAcert authority, which you can import.

The whole Savannah infrastructure has now switched from Debian Etch (4.0) to Debian Lenny (5.0). Thanks to the VServer technology, we could upgrade each part independently over a few days with only a few minutes of downtime.

Due to a recent change in the GNU mail system, some of the mails could not be delivered between the 7th and the 12th. This is now fixed and handled differently so that the savannah and gnu mails won't lost sync again.
Commit notifications sent to lists.gnu.org in that interval were lost.
Trackers notifications could be recovered and have been reinjected in the mail system - you should be receiving them.

Let us know if one of the download mirrors is slow!
Our tools allow us to check if a mirror is up-to-date, but can't check if it has bandwidth issues. We'll retire slow mirrors and contact their maintainers to see if this can be improved.

We installed a new git repository browser at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/
It's written in C, uses a static library rather than forking git, has a cache system, and hence is pretty fast!
Let us know how it works for you.

Following an UTF-8 fix-up of the MySQL database, some users were not considered admin of their projects anymore. This was due to some SQL comparison for fields like CHAR(16) not working anymore when not properly converted to UTF-8. This is fixed now.

Savannah now has 12 mirrors covering 8 countries and 4 continents!
To take advantage of these, we setup a GeoIP-based nearest-mirror redirection system. The old URL (without redirection) is still available at download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/ .
