Alternative for SourceForge

Submitted by epr on Mon, 05/29/2006 - 17:16.

With the recent problems on SourceForge, especially related to Subversion, we might consider moving to an alternative project site.

Please comment and make suggestions. Any experience with other sites is welcome.

There is also forge.novell.com. Much like sourceforge, also the possiblity to use SVN.

summary of proposed hosts

Submitted by Fabien D on Sat, 06/10/2006 - 19:16.

Here is a summary of hosts proposed (with subversion) until now :

Host comments
BerliOS (www.berlios.de) slow and sometime offline
OpenSVN (https://opensvn.csie.org/) possiblity to use Trac
GNA.org (https://gna.org/) their bandwidth, uptime and service is excelent
safehaus (www.safehaus.org) Atlassian Confluence and JIRA integrated with SVN and mailman, among other services
GNU savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/)
java.net (www.java.net)
javaforge (www.javaforge.com)
codehaus (www.codehaus.org) looks like it's from the same people as safehaus, but the projects must be under business-friendly licenses(this include LGPL, but not GPL)

Welcome at Safehaus

Submitted by enriquer9 on Wed, 05/31/2006 - 02:01.

Hi, Ewout,

You guys are welcome at Safehaus. We have some great infrastructure, including Atlassian Confluence and JIRA integrated with SVN and mailman, among other services.

While we are pushing forward on products like TripleSec, Penrose, and Guardian, we have other non-security/directory teams working on such projects as NIO HTTP (AsyncWeb) and Radius. Of course these are all Java projects.

We also have a strong focus on OSGi, which may fit with JNode goals, as well. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I think it's a good idea to move away from sourceforge, they are so slow, lately there had been cvs server downtimes even for developers and anonymous cvs is mostly allways out of date :'(

I found 2 free hosting sites using subversion. The first is BerliOS, a german hosting site, but I can not comment on there service quality.

The second is OpenSVN (https://opensvn.csie.org/), and they seem to have Trac too. I don't know if that is desired to switch there too, but in any case, there one has the possibility to use Trac.

For Trac, there is an online demo at there site. Trac features a wiki, isue report,.. and all directly combined with the subversion repository. Though I don't want to criticise on Drupal with that Eye-wink

BerliOS is also slow, and

BerliOS is also slow, and sometimes even off line.

Trac dosn't natively support multiple projects, but it would seem that OpenSVN is working around that limitation.

I can recommend GNA.org, their bandwidth, uptime and service is excelent.
