Unfortunately, that system is off-line now (don't know why), and it's in the Phoenix colo with no console access, so we wait... I'm really motivated right now to set up reliable git mirrors for those two projects. Obviously, best would be to have the mirrors on the same system as the mirrored repositories. I know this is of irregular, but from our last exchange, it sounds like no one there is motivated to work on this sort of thing. But I _am_ motivated, and have already done this both on et.r.c., and on git.savannah.gnu.org. So, ... Could I arrange to get access to your system in order to set up a git server, my two mirroring cron jobs, (possibly a gitweb -- just a cgi script, if you're ok with that), and to do whatever else I can to help provide git access on sourceware? FWIW, I'm terribly cautious/paranoid/whatever, and not a security risk. If you need someone to vouch for me, Uli Drepper probably will. Jim (aka meyering@redhat.com) long-time coreutils maintainer
