As you know, savannah.gnu.org and savannah.nongnu.org have been down for a number of weeks due to a system crack. Thanks to the contributions of many people -- most notably Mathieu Roy, Jim Blair, and Paul Fisher -- the system is working again for existing projects. We have implemented a new security infrastructure that uses chroot'ed environments to isolate each project. We have of course tightened up security, but even if that tightened security is compromised for a particular project, the cracker can most likely only impact that one project. Please read this whole statement in detail before beginning work again. As part of the security changes, there are nine user-visible changes of particular interest. Six of those changes are implemented now (three of which are temporary), and two will be implemented later. They are as follows: The link for this article located at FreeSoftwareFoundation is no longer available. . The FSF's Savannah platform is back online following an extended outage caused by a security breach, with enhanced protections now in place..
