Github has a fuzzy limit of 300MB or so for an account. After that they want money. However, I don't think any of us expected how bad the resource utilization was going to be between Trac/Git and ill-behaved web crawlers. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Bock [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2013 9:17 AM To: Gianfranco Costamagna; Rom Walton Cc: BOINC Developers Mailing List; Boinc Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] [boinc_alpha] Boinc switch proposal Hi Gianfranco, I'd like to comment on your statements, although I'll leave it to the BOINC devs to provide an "official" answer. > Gianfranco Costamagna wrote, On 06.03.13 14:09: >> Hi everybody, since some days I'm thinking about your switch to git, >> with the benefits that this has implied. >> >> Anyway this approach still have some problems e.g.: >> - there is no automatic tag at each release, with a link for the >> source downloading. 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: http://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb.conf.html >> - people cannot contribute. 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.
