GH doesn't fall over often, so that's less and less of a reason. But there's still a nice feeling of security in being able to pull from our own repo. The other day, I could't reach most of Rackspace due to routing problems on the wider internet. I was able to reach JRuby.org fine. Anyway, probably not a strong reason.
The amount of clones and pulls we do in response to CI is perhaps a better reason, but that could be mitigated by maintaining a local clone and recloning from that, as we do in a couple builds (but maybe not enough of them. As for pulls, you can still pull them directly in as long as you maintain github as a remote in your repo. It's not a single step, but it's only like three steps... 1. Hit the merge button 2. Pull github/master on your local system 3. Push origin/master (jruby.org) from your local system In any case, merging pull requests without testiing locally is strongly discouraged :) - Charlie On Mon, Jan 9, 2012 at 7:32 PM, Wayne Meissner <wmeiss...@gmail.com> wrote: > How often does github fall over these days? > > At least one major advantage to having github as the primary repo > (with a mirror on EC2 for the CI & backup), is the ability to trivally > merge pull requests.
