For example, Launchpad [1] hosts bzr code branches for anyone working on open source software. Sign in (for free of course) and start pushing your own branches immediately[2]. However, there's also no reason why other such services couldn't be deployed, perhaps even hosted by the PSF, just like we do with Subversion. The difference is that it doesn't matter because unlike running multiple Subversion repositories, dvcs's in general are designed to be distributed (duh :). > I simply cannot imagine that all contributors have access to some > machine that is always online and willing to host bzr patches (which > is necessary IIUC). Having access is easy. Self-publishing might not be something people want to do (it's certainly not something I want to do), but that's not a requirement. - -Barry [1] <http://www.launchpad.net> which is a service provided by Canonical. Full disclosure: I work for them. But I'm not touting that as a company shill; I really do think that bzr and the Launchpad code hosting service provide a lot of benefit. Be your own judge.
