I agree, GNU Savannah's web and git servers are offline at this time.

We could potentially switch the port to a more reliable clone of the git repository, perhaps ​this one on GitHub. This would have the added benefit that we could use GitHub's automatically generated tarballs instead of having to fetch from the git repo; this would have prevented the problem of relying on a single point of failure for git fetches.

Because of this, we are not able to install the emacs for now. Is there any workaround?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

GNU Savannah seems to be up again now. Try again?

[breadncup]

Thanks, it works now.

However, as drkp has mentioned, if it updates to more reliable repo, it would be great.

Thanks,
