Hello all, I got some time tonight and I've managed to make savannah work partially on my system. I've created the first #101 user and made it a sysadmin. I lost some time because I'm on apache2, and I skipped the mailman config and this basically messed up the whole conf. Anyway I got it working and looked at different files to restore a working conf so that's positive ! :-)
I cannot find anywhere the homepage-update.pl script Mathieu talked about ... I've installed savannah through an archive, not from cvs so I guess it could have been in cvs. I looked at cvsview on gna and it isn't... So where is located this script ? I've got a few questions about savannah. - It looks like I need to be root to perform some operations : is it mandatory ? - has anybody thought of a way to automate the install process via an install.php script (like templeet or spip) ? I understand configuring mailmain and a chrooted cvs need to be done as root. But what about /etc/savannah/* files ? Basically, I'm quite reticent to launch scripts as root. I'd prefer having a dedicated user containing all that's needed (sv_*.pl scripts) and reverting to using root only in scarce situations (updating the sys conf) I guess this has been previously discussed elsewhere and there is good reason for it (perhaps even historical reason), sorry for the noise.
