[Savannah-hackers] Re: submission of Snort Intrusion Detection System - savannah.nongnu.org

[Mathieu Roy]

Hi Richard, Loic and Jaime,

Chris Green submitted a project on Savannah, but apparently only to get
Savannah as a CVS mirror (see below).

It's, as far I remember, the first time we have this kind of request.

Personally, I think that Savannah is development platform and
shouldn't be considered as a cheap mirror. 
Loic, Jaime, do you agree or, a contrario, think that the Savannah
mission should include mirroring?

Finally, Richard, the decision is yours. I let the request pending
until I get an authoritative answer. Please reply soon, to avoid
having Chris Green waiting for days maybe for nothing.

Until then, I'll ask Chris Green to clarify his registration. He may
really want to use fully Savannah but only want a mirroring for the
CVS. 
It's doubtful as they already have snort.org with mailing-list etc...

Thanks all,

Regards,
