I think a combination of: - Linus considered monotone and decided to write git instead because monotone was too slow for his use, so lots of people noe believe monotone is "slow" - Monotone does not serve over HTTP, so hosting is a bit "difficult" - Monotone is for adults :) The reasons are, in fact, similar for those for not using Haskell :) > b) there are some possibilities for hosting darcs repos, but, > according to the wiki, there is only one site offering public hosting > for monotone. Do I miss some? There is a second one, http://www.ada-france.org/article131.html but only for Ada projects (I'm the admin). > c) considering b) it seems practical to think about using one's own > hosting for the project, I'm curious about memory requirements on the > server (for medium-sized project)? The monotone server currently running on ada-france.org uses 159 MiB of virtual memory. While syncing a second monotone process uses 39 MiB.

It works well; I use it to nightly replicate a large Subversion repository into monotone.

I use the command line and emacs, sorry. -- Ludovic Brenta. _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
