Hi,
The bottom line is that *anything* can be installed on Savannah
as long as it's Free Software and that someone is willing to do whatever
it takes to make it work in the long run. Such a commitment is extremely
rare because it's boring most of the time. It's fun to install a new
software but handling support requests every day (specialy stupid ones)
or upgrading hardware (that's what I'm dealing with currently) is much
less appealing.
I told Vincent he could go ahead because I know him and trust
him to understand precisely what such a commitment means. I've learnt
that it's not something that can be explained to people, unless you're
ready to spend monthes.
I'll be meeting all Savannah hackers at Metz
(rencontresmondiales.org) this Saturday and we will talk about
subversion.
Cheers,
