Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Software libero per la Pubblica amministrazione - savannah.gnu.org

Hi Raphael,
I'm sorry for the late reply. There were some complications with a surgery
my mother went through on Saturday, which kept me away for Sunday (things are
stable now); and the last two days I was out from my workplace in a Conference.

If your people find it complicated using sv.non-gnu.org/project/pa1
sv.non-gnu.org/project/pa2 ... sv.non-gnu.org/project/pan rather than
a single sv.non-gnu.org/project/pa page, I'm afraid they are going to find it
extremely complicated to use the CVS inteface we use for Savannah.
In that case you will have to register the projects and update the repository
yourself; and you can register separate projects and then point to them from
the homepage of the "pa" central project.

We requiere independent projects rather than software distributions, because
we want to evaluate the license and objectives of each project and know that
they will not change after we've done our initial evaluation. Keeping track of
objectives and license changes every time some new packages enters a
distribution would require too much work which we do not have time to do.
