There are a few issues with repository creation at the moment.
Please bear with us and accept our apologizes for this delay :/

CVS does not appear to be setup yet. I changed my CVS/Root files for all my existing projects on savannh to the new CVSROOT, and can update the files. But for Gnash, I can't checkout the minimal to create the web site nor get the sources under source code control. Here's what I get:

Cannot access /web/gnash/CVSROOT
Cannot access /sources/gnash/CVSROOT

All right.


I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Regards.

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

At first, I saw that you use Glut, a win library, right? Can you please point me to its license? I haven't found it yet. :/


At second, can you please provide us with more information about the OpenGL issue - can you (or GLUT) use the free implementation of OpenGL, for example 'Mesa'?

I only ask, because OpenGL has got a GPL incompatible license.

Regards,

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard the registration.


######### REGISTRATION ADMINISTRATION #########

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific "Group Administration" page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):

  <https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=8191>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  Gnash - The GNU Flash player

System Group Name:
-----------------
  gnash

Type:
-----
  Official GNU software

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  Gnash is a fork of the GameSWF project with the purpose of turning it into a GNU Flash movie player that runs as both a Firefox plugin, but also standalone. At this point, the interpreter in Gnash has a reasonably good SWF v7 compliance, and is the closest to becoming a full-featured flash player in a reasonable amount of time.

The existing GameSWF code is licensed as "public domain, do what you want". All new code that I've add is GPL'd. Over time, the public domain files will become GPL'd as more extensive changes are made.

An initial URL is http://www.welcomehome.org/gnash/. This will become the web site on savannah. Initial docs and a code snapshot are there now.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  OpenGL, Glut, and SDL.

Other Comments:
---------------
  RMS has already approved this as a GNU project, the email went to savannah-hackers the other day. I've been working with him on the licensing issues as well.
