Re: sourceforge miseries

[Sam S. <sd...@gn...>]

Hi Bruno,

I moved from cons.org to SF 18 years ago based on similar hardships.
I understand your frustration ;-(

Now that git has clearly won against mercurial, I think any repo move
should include switching to git - no reason to stick with obsolete tech.

why not d) github.com?

savannah has had its fair share of failures - security breaches,
hardware faults week-long down times - over the 15 years that we used
it.

just like SF was "all the rage" in 2000 and quite reliable back then, it
seems that github is the most feature-full and reliable source host.

unless ideology is at stake, I see no reason to use savannah.

another question is timing.
I suggest not making a move until 2.50 is released and GSoC is over.
The combination of repo move, release and GSoC may be too much.

Thanks.
