As pointed out by Ian. My issue with the concept of a central repository is, that the issues it solves are far more elegantly handled by providing mirrors; i.e. doing something similar to godoc.org, but fetching and mirroring full git repos indefinitely (and support for using them transparently in go-get). This mirror infrastructure can be run decentralized and as it mirrors transparently also uses the existing decentralized namespacing, so it alleviates most issues of a centralized repo. At the same time, it provides uptime and protection against unpublishing, which is the greatest benefit of a centralized repository. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
