Hi friends,
the subject line says it all...
I'm in the progress of updating stackless to use mercurial on
python.org and talked to Martin v. Loewis who pointed out
the restrictions of Bitbucket.
Besides the impression that Bitbucket is pretty slow, it is also not
possible to add our own hooks to it.
The impression that Bitbucket is slow? What does that mean? I don't
find python.org any faster than Bitbucket.
I'm pretty sure python.org would be happy to host PyPy.
Is there any good reason why we don't ask and move to python.org?
I didn't do the mercurial transition, but I'm pretty happy with bitbucket.
This is no answer but an opinion ;-)
I was asking why we don't use python.org instead of bitbucket.
I don't remember any big comparison analysis. Some people
pushed for bitbucket, a number was using it already, and the others
didn't mind. The main effort and focus was on the conversion of the
svn repository, anyway.
Before, we had codespeak.net which was very convenient because
I knew all relevant people in person.
We have some personal contacts to bitbucket - they actually sponsor an
unlimited plan for PyPy. Moreover, some pypy devs wanted a hosting
solution where we do not depend on private connects or work but can
rather rely on a company basing their business on such hosting.
Well, I understand that all.
Maybe I was implicitly assuming that everybody felt like me:
It is an honor for Stackless Python to live on python.org, and
probably also a positive sign, like some acceptance by core python.
That made me wonder. If I had a chance to use python.org instead
of anything else, I'd always prefer python.org, unless it has a significant
drawback, or they told me "no, go somewhere else" ;-)
Python used sourceforge before, but preferred to have the freedom
to host their data themselves.
By using python.org, PyPy would have similar convenience as
before.
Therefore my question: What makes bitbucket the better choice over
python.org, despite free t-shirts? (which might be an important reason
for some :-) )
PyPy has by now quite some integration code wrt to bitbucket.
It seems all are quite happy with bitbucket services as it stands.
So seen from now the question probably rather is why we should
move anywhere else.
Well, as said, I see a positive political effect in moving to python.org
that I (personally) would not underestimate.
But PyPy is maybe popular enough that my point doesn't really exist,
or even vice versa - maybe the distinction is even welcome. ;-)
cheers - chris
