Seems to me that sourceforge is serving our needs quite well, and I for oneWell, I cannot relate to that, but Ia m sure, that it is an honour. There are issues with Sourceforge which will always hamper our further development. Questions like "can we run perl cgi-scripts" or not, will never arise on our own Server. Furthermore mirroring binary distribution sets will always be a pain, I do not know if you read the request of a large university to mirror or binary packages. This is not easily possible, since there is no rsync provided by sourceforge and special arrangements would have to be made.
am proud that we were selected as their project of the month.
Personally I dislike the single location with sourceforge and the fact that you are somewhat bound to their limit system.
That being said, the biggest need that we have IMO is for more volunteers,I can only agree and that is my strongest point. I wish to organise fink and that requires a lot of voluntary work. Work which no developer likes to do, because it is tedious and simply annoying, a lot like the paper work we all like to avoid if possible. I will try to find volunteers and I will try to sort them into groups with the permission of all of you. I will try to coordinate them and I will even try to recruit them. Yet a fink server, where I can create my own little word for them, using squiremail or horde, giving them their own email, etc, will make it a lot easier on you and me.
since there are a number of tasks that aren't get done as regularly or
as systematically as they might. We could have a "monitor the package
submission tracker" committee, a "build distributions regularly" committee,
a "sort the submitted bugs and assign them" committee, and so on.
I think there are enough interested people, but many are a bit hesitant with sourceforge, just like me. I hated the idea of becoming part of their net, just to submit to fink. But once more, that is a personal issue and I cannot speak for others.The problem is not with resources like mirrors, but with finding enough interested people.
As for mirrors, I think it is important to gather an infrastructure now and not when it is nearly impossible to let those who are interested grow with us. It make a difference if you ask someone "Hey want to mirror 500MB" and they grow with us , instead of asking "hey , want to mirror 4Gig".
Just my 2 cents.
I appreciate the Input very much, so please keep it coming.
