Hi,

I'm doing some work on chapters.gnu.org, which is currently being reinstalled,
and hosts various GNU services such as planet.gnu.org.

I'd like to share our configuration with the free software world in a Git
repository, however the project type of "gnues" is "www.gnu.org portion" and
offers no Git.

Can the project type be changed?

Where are you seeing "www.gnu.org portion"? I am not familiar with anything
that says that.

If you are talking source code for projects those can of course be git or the
other version control systems.

If you are talking about the web pages for a project on www.gnu.org then as
you know that is not within the control of Savannah Hackers. You would need
to file a ticket with FSF admin for any requests in that system. Savannah can
hold the version control files but we don't have any access to the web pages
on www.gnu.org and can't change version control there.

There is a Savannah ticket that I would need to locate that holds the history
of the interaction to get web page version control under git. Currently
stalled. :-(

In short:
https://savannah.gnu.org/p/gnues
=> Group Type: www.gnu.org portions
=> Git can't be enabled for this project type
=> Project type needs to be changed to 'GNU Project' for this

Not sure why this project was created like this.

Follow-up Comment #3:

Oh. Now I see. The project type it was created as when it was created.

I changed that to a non-GNU project so that it would have the full set of
features available. I chose non-gnu because that is the safe selection and I
didn't need to look up the official project status. But if it is an official
project listed in the maintainers file then I will be happy to change it to
GNU.

The full set of features including git should be available in the admin
interface now.

Thanks.
This is a machine for GNU infrastructure & services so please let this project
as "GNU" project so its role is not misunderstood.
(plus it was a "www.gnu.org" project before)
This isn't a "software" project because this is infrastructure (similar to
project "administration").

Is there a way to reopen this task?
I told RMS I pushed the configuration to GitLab meanwhile.

Please have some patience. There is no need to re-open the task. We can add
information to closed tasks. As you have done here. In the intervening time
I have changed the project type to Official GNU Software. So there you go!

BTW... I have no idea what this means or why the type of project would have
any affect on this at all. AFAICS it would not matter at all.

Thanks a lot!

For the record, I have no way to know if with the limited Savannah resources,
you are able to managed closed requests or if one should re-open a new one.
For the GNU/non-GNU, I remember it was a PITA to change project type, to the
point it justified a complete wiki page
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/NonGnuToGnuSysadmin/ so I didn't touch
anything until the project type was clean.

This may be confusing. gnues isn't (yet) an official GNU package, it isn't
listed on https://www.gnu.org/software/
