Hi Gianfranco,

I'd like to comment on your statements, although I'll leave it to the
BOINC devs to provide an "official" answer.

Each client release is tagged:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gitweb/?p=boinc.git;a=tags

Making these tags available for download is just be a matter of
configuring gitweb (the web front-end linked above) to allow that.

Rom, I recommend you enable that feature:

Why not? You can always send in patches using "git format-patch". You
can also always fork the repo and publish your fork/branches/changes
elsewhere, like on GitHub. You may then issue a merge request via mail
to boinc_dev and get your changes pulled from your remote.

Agreed, it's not as integrated and convenient as doing this all on
GitHub itself but it works nevertheless. I reckon BOINC has decided
against hosting their repo on GitHub for a reason, but I'll let them
comment on that part.


HTH,
Oliver
