[fossil-users] Chiselapp.com shutting down

2013-03-28 Thread James Turner
After a couple weeks of debate, I've decided to shut down Chiselapp.com.
As the message on the homepage states, new account and repository
creation has been disabled. Access to the website and repositories will
remain open until May 1st 2013.

Richard, if you wouldn't mind removing the link to chiselapp.com from the
Fossil homepage I would appreciate it. A diff is attached for your
convenience.

A big thanks for everyone who's used the service, sadly I just don't
have the time to maintain it and hosting it has started to become a
burden.

The Chisel codebase, Flint, is available under the AGPLv3 license so if
your interested now is probably the time to grab it.

Hi James,

That's really a bummer, I really liked the Chisel service.

Thank you very much for hosting it for all of these years, though!

Side note to list:

Does anyone know of any good fossil hosts right now? I'm thinking of moving my
repositories to sourceforge, since someone came up with a way to use fossil
unofficially.  I'm going to see if the same is possible on BerliOS via cgi,
since I already use that service for binary hosting.

I think that the Fossil project should aim to have at least one official host
to replace chiselapp.

Tim
