Oh, I didn't expect you to be subscribed, thanks for that.

Thanks for that too.

No problem.

If you have time, I would suggest a few potential actions:

Try to re-do the conversion from CVS to git using reposurgeon, since it
produces a better conversion. I wrote the attached draft cvs2git script
that uses reposurgeon and then does some cleanup on the repository with
git and git-filter-repo. It is fairly complete. In particular it drops
bogus log messages, adds git style authors and converts CVS tags and
branches to git tags and branches. Please review the script and the
resulting git repository before using it though.

https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo

Delete and recreate the GitHub repository.

Push the new git conversion to GitHub.

Enable git in the Savannah project and push to the repository.

Remove the CVS repository for the code from the Savannah project.

Decide on whether you want GitHub or Savannah or both for hosting.

Thanks.

If you control the server, it should be fairly easy to add both domains
to the Lets Encrypt certificate config. Of course changing the Homepage
to the working domain or to xnee.wordpress.com is fine too.

PS: I note the GNU link on https://sandklef.com/ is broken too.
