Lately SourceForge became the worst repository hosting service. It would be great if you moved this project elsewhere. Feel free to choose any other: GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab, etc…

Things you will get: no ads, better web interface, potentially more contributions, no risk that they will start bundling malware with your downloads…

    Sourceforge changed ownership two weeks ago, and policies are changing accordingly. Can we close this ticket?

    SourceForge did some not so nice things a while ago. The SDCC project was not hit AFAIK. After the public unrest they changed their policy and now they even have a new owner. See also here:

    We have no intention to move the project right now.
