This may be confusing. gnues isn't (yet) an official GNU package, it isn't listed on https://www.gnu.org/software/

Thanks a lot!

For the record, I have no way to know if with the limited Savannah resources, you are able to managed closed requests or if one should re-open a new one.  For the GNU/non-GNU, I remember it was a PITA to change project type, to the point it justified a complete wiki page http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/NonGnuToGnuSysadmin/ so I didn't touch anything until the project type was clean.

BTW...  I have no idea what this means or why the type of project would have any affect on this at all.  AFAICS it would not matter at all.

Please have some patience.  There is no need to re-open the task.  We can add information to closed tasks.  As you have done here.  In the intervening time I have changed the project type to Official GNU Software.  So there you go!

Is there a way to reopen this task?
I told RMS I pushed the configuration to GitLab meanwhile.

Thanks.
This is a machine for GNU infrastructure & services so please let this project as "GNU" project so its role is not misunderstood.
(plus it was a "www.gnu.org" project before)
This isn't a "software" project because this is infrastructure (similar to project "administration").

Oh.  Now I see.  The project type it was created as when it was created.

I changed that to a non-GNU project so that it would have the full set of features available.  I chose non-gnu because that is the safe selection and I didn't need to look up the official project status.  But if it is an official project listed in the maintainers file then I will be happy to change it to GNU.

The full set of features including git should be available in the admin interface now.

In short:
https://savannah.gnu.org/p/gnues
=> Group Type: www.gnu.org portions
=> Git can't be enabled for this project type
=> Project type needs to be changed to 'GNU Project' for this

Not sure why this project was created like this.

Where are you seeing "www.gnu.org portion"?  I am not familiar with anything that says that.

If you are talking source code for projects those can of course be git or the other version control systems.

If you are talking about the web pages for a project on www.gnu.org then as you know that is not within the control of Savannah Hackers.  You would need to file a ticket with FSF admin for any requests in that system.  Savannah can hold the version control files but we don't have any access to the web pages on www.gnu.org and can't change version control there.

There is a Savannah ticket that I would need to locate that holds the history of the interaction to get web page version control under git.  Currently stalled. :-(

Hi,

I'm doing some work on chapters.gnu.org, which is currently being reinstalled, and hosts various GNU services such as planet.gnu.org.

I'd like to share our configuration with the free software world in a Git repository, however the project type of "gnues" is "www.gnu.org portion" and offers no Git.

Can the project type be changed?
