I'm still slightly not sold on github, but they can't trap us or anything, given that git is inherently distributed, so I'm pretty comfortable giving it a run-out. I'm disappointed with how almost hidden the development network around repositories are (compared to, say, ohloh.net), but it's a lot better than everyone having their repos all over the place. So, as an experiment, I've just moved my personal Puppet development repository to github: http://github.com/lak/puppet/tree/master I've also just published all of the different Puppet modules I could find lying around: http://github.com/lak Many of those modules haven't been touched in a while, but I'm probably about to go through some of them today (which is partially why I'm doing this now), and some of them have changes in other locations that I just need to merge in. It might be time for someone to resurrect PRM (Puppet recipe manager) and teach it how to find and download modules from github (*hint*hint*). -- Life isn't fair.
