How about: - switch to non-GNU - put a note in the summary You still have to: - ask sysadmin to move gnu.org/s/package/ -> nongnu.org/package/ - move the ftp.gnu.org/gnu/package -> dl.sv.gnu.org/releases/package - move mailing lists from nongnu.org->gnu.org, or at least add the nongnu.org alias I think that's all. -- Sylvain
