Ping? Is it possible to either get the savannah git tree to be
automatically mirrored from git.qemu.org, or to remove it?

(This came up on IRC again today.)

We're working on migrating the qemu.org server to something more 
reliable that can also provide mailing list hosting.  We'll announce a 
migration date by EOW.

Hup! Somebody here was confused by the now-ancient-but-not-deleted
savannah git repo again today. Do we have a timescale for getting
rid of it, reinstating the qemu.org web interface to git, etc ?

Thanks

OSUOSL had a security breach as part of the kernel.org intrusion so all plans to 
move are on hold until that whole mess gets straightened out.

The reason I don't have an auto mirror set up with Savannah is that I don't want 
to publish my private key on a remote server (and the kernel.org break in is a 
good example of why no one should :-)).

Ah :-(

If we're not going to have an updated mirror I think we should just
delete the savannah repo -- an apparently authoritative but actually
stale repo is worse than useless.

Does Savannah support user cronjobs? Then you could auto-pull qemu.org's
public tree once in a while.

Not as far as I can tell.

Maybe this works:

* Get login account for savannah:
    http://www.gnu.org/software/README.accounts.html

* Upload your public ssh key to savannah.

* Run a cron job on qemu.org:
    ssh to savannah or fencepost.gnu.org and update the git repo.

If this works, it would be a better solution than removing the repo.
I don't have project access to a savannah project, otherwise I
could try it myself.

Stefan

You don't need a fencepost account for that, just commit access to the
qemu repo at savannah.

(In any case the private ssh key needs to be accessible to the cron
job.)

... it can be any private key, so it's possible to create an
account "savannah" on qemu.org (without login access)
which runs the cron job.
