Hi Christopher,

until end of october Taler needs to migrate servers, and I am
responsible to move it to GuixSD. Gitolite is a critical and
essential part of the infrastructure.

Do you think the gitolite service is (mostly) ready to be deployed or
have you encountered any bugs with it?


Thanks for your work on it!
