In principle I'm +1 on this (both aspects). I don't know enough to understand all the subtleties. I hope we're correctly estimating the effort required to manage the server and the users. Managing users is especially important -- if a user is compromised (as has happened in the past for python.org users) the whole repository is compromised. Now this could happen to SF users too, but I'm not sure that we know all the tricks in the book to prevent attacks; SF has been doing this for years and that's an aspect of SF that I trust (I think I've heard that they have even modified their SSH server to be stricter). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
