Hi Jarrod, I've been using Gitorious for 1 year in our company without a single stability problem all this time nor had a need for restarting the server or any service except when upgrading Gitorious...

I would really suggest that you tried my Chef recipe since you can easily replicate an environment close to what we currently use. Then, you could tell me if you still think it is unstable.

Another suggestion would be to get a professional support from Gitorious AS, since they provide a Gitorious installation service as well as integrations and other kind of services...

Besides Gitorious, we're also using Chiliproject (written in Ruby) and Redmine prior to that, which is also written in Ruby. We had no problem with all of them.

Cheers,

Rodrigo.

I really like Gitorious but my experience with it has been hit or miss.

The git-poller script just stops working on a intermittent basis, when I stop and restart it, the database is all out of whack sometimes.

memcached started complaining about keys being bigger than 1MB, that seems to be causing problems as well.

There are a LOT of moving parts and they don't all seem to move together all that well all the time.

I have a team over seas that relies on this server as well as locally so it needs to be as stable as possible. It is the only Ruby based thing in my development stack and it is the most fragile as well.

Creating repositories is hit or miss, they seem to hang and corrupt the database on a fairly un-predictable but regular basis.

Don't take this the wrong way, I really appreciate all the help from the you guys and the online community in general.

I have the PickAxe book on the way ... just so I can support my team with this software better, and maybe contribute back some. There really isn't anything else available to compete with Gitorious. A private install of GitHub won't give me the team and project management
features Gitorious has.

I hope I can not just be a complainer but maybe help make things more stable if I can get up to speed on Ruby, it is about the only language I don't know really well at this time.
