The issue is that the GNU project / FSF is proposing to give grades to various places that host free software source code repositories and endorse a few. We need to stop endorsing centralized solutions and develop standards for free software projects to host their own repositories or use / develop tools that aid projects in doing so. Developing standards is the important part of this because most projects don't host their own code in a secure way and they don't sign their code in a verifiable way. The whole point I was making is that the GNU project / FSF should not be repeating the whole process of endorsing one or a few centralized places to host free software projects. The free software community has gone through the failure of centralized source code repository hosts several times and I'm sure it will happen a few more if we keep up this cycle. I only brought up gittorrent because it seemed close to what I was thinking of, but other tools are needed to make it work. -- Robert Call (Bob) [email protected] http://librecmc.org
