Rudy and I indeed forgot that part.
Unfortunately we also forgot to tell you to update the Savannah config  
only through CVS: the 'subversions' module contains all the public  
configuration, including the FAQ. The only exception is the symlink  
from nongnu's FAQ to gnu's FAQ.

Here are some poor notes on how to include the non-commited code into  
the branch:

Places where the code lies:
- /savannah/frontend/ = symlink from /usr/src/savannah/frontend/  
(updated directly)
- /usr/local/savannah/bin/ (updated using make install)
- /usr/local/lib/site_perl/ (updated using make install)

Some non-commited changes:
? php/tmp
? php/include/smtp.inc
M php/account/change.php // seems gpg addition for file upload
M php/account/lostpw-confirm.php // We will get a lot of these in the
// coming days let's not send to hackers.
// (address@hidden)
M php/admin/approve-pending.php // Disabled by corvus, 22 December (+  
reenabled recently)
M php/include/sendmail.php // Modified to use SMTP by address@hidden 
example.com

subversions:
Do not put /etc/savannah/* in the repository. Contain passwords...
Not version controlled.


Of course we have to do the changes on our test installs, and see  
whether any conflicts appear.
A cvs 'update -r DEV_2004-05-13_GNU' + several commits should do the  
trick.
It would be good IMHO to commit files one by one on Savannah using a  
per-file commit message (like the comments above).
