Package: emacs
Severity: minor

Is someone with admin rights for the Emacs Savannah page able to fix
the following issues, or do I need to report them to Savannah?

http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/

"Source Code" link:

1) Remove "Use Git" and the following "Browse Sources Repository" link.
(dead repository)

2) Change "Use CVS" to something like "Use CVS (web pages only)".


http://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=emacs

1) Any reason not to add the help-emacs-windows and gnu-emacs-sources
lists?

2) The "to post a message" comment is inappropriate for the lists:
emacs-bug-tracker, emacs-diffs, and info-gnu-emacs.

Could we find someone to maintain it up-to-date instead?

We could turn off CVS access, indeed, tho I'm not sure what are the
consequences in terms of the old CVS repository: would it still be
accessible via `cvs'?  Would it disappear completely?  Would we care?

This page is auto-generated.  So to add those lists, we'd have to
change them into standard lists managed by lists.gnu.org.  Since they're
also available as usenet groups, I'm not sure how easy such a switch
would be.

Again, this is auto-generated, and I have no idea if a switch somewhere
in the mailing-list config controls this message and if so which one,

Only Jim has write access to it.

Sounds like a problem we need to fix, indeed.  Can someone take care
of that?

Hooray, more git discussion. :(

I wasn't suggesting turning off CVS access, just stop the slightly
misleading advertisement of it in the "Source Code" menu. It's still
used for the Emacs web pages, so it is useful to have those
instructions there for that.

But they are standard lists.gnu.org lists:

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources

AFAIK, there is no difference between these and eg bug-gnu-emacs.

Oh well, I thought it might be.

IIUC the message you don't like is auto-generated and controlled by
whether or not the CVS flag is set.  Note that this flag only controls
the non-web part, IIUC (the web part is always unconditionally enabled).

Actually... it seems that the CVS part is already de-activated, so it
seems the problem is on the savannah side where the auto-generated
message isn't quite right.

I guess savannah hasn't been made aware that these belong to the
`emacs' project.

Actually, the problem is that mailing-list configuration has only
"public" and "private" settings which control how easily one can
subscribe, but it doesn't have any settings about who can send email to
that list.

So what's the conclusion regarding these lists?  Should I add them or
not?  If you want them added, just say so.

I've filed a support request #107479 on savannah for those issues.
So if you can resolve them yourself, go ahead (and please mention what
you've fixed, in that support request).

It looks like they've changed the UI and it's no longer possible for
the project admins to add existing mailing lists to a project.  That
was definitely not so a couple of years ago, when I added emacs-bidi
to the project page.

Sorry.
