Hmm... you misunderstood my request (or maybe I was not clear enough). I am not asking to relocate the servers, but to provide a way for third parties to make mirrors elsewhere using their own resources. Since the projects hosted at google must be available or otherwise they would not be open source, Google could provide a way to make mirrors elsewhere. Since each project usually provides its own license terms of use, mirroring should not be a problem. For example, sourceforge has been mirrored by several providers (even though by default souceforge limits access to blacklisted countries too) You see, I talked to the providers of heanet.ie (who are already mirroring debian, sourceforge and other projects) and they basically said they were willing to make a mirror of code.google.com but the problem was that Google did not provide a way to make a mirror. That was my request. Even though projects may use different systems like SVN, GIT or Mercurial, Google could provide rsync access, or something similar, if not for public access, at least for selected mirror providers. Don't you think this request is reasonable? Regards, Hugo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
