Re: Google Code Shutting Down
Thanks for the discussion. I found my original concern was supposedly about sourceforge. PyPi, according to a post over on pypubsub-dev that pip installs had anecdotal problems with sourcforge-hosted projects. I guess I wanted some more anecdotes and opinions before I tried moving anything. I barely understand the SVN I'm using now, so trying to learn a new VCS is a tad daunting for this hobbyist. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

For sure the Communition Edition offers self-hosting. But in face of Benjamin article above, what is your opinion on its commercial approach to provide only relevant features through its vendor lock-in service? I always wondered what would happen if the developers community chooses to take its open-source Community edition and fork it into a EE edition. Reminds me so much of MySQL and why MariaDB is today a superior DBMS... Also worth watching is Kallithea, a new federated code hosting service URL:https://kallithea-scm.org/. It supports Mercurial and Git for VCS, code review, and integrates with existing issue trackers. Because it's federated, you won't suffer from vendor lock-in. Good hunting in finding a free-software code hosting provider for your projects! And Redmine. Kallithea and Redmine seem like two great options. The only problem with Redmine is that it does not provide any Git workflow (correc tme if this is not true anymore). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Essentially anywhere where either Git, Bazaar, Mercurial or Subversion are supported. Installing directly from whatever the latest revision in VCS, is not a good replacement. What's needed is a VCS hosting provider that also expects you to publish tarballs at specific versions. For that, you want to choose a provider that runs entirely free software for the service – not just the VCS, but whatever other features you use need to be freely available for someone to run another instance of the same service. Otherwise you're stuck any time you want to migrate your project, which is what led to this thread in the first place. This is called “vendor lock-in”: services like GitHub and Google Code lock you in to the one provider, because if you want to migrate you can't take your project data (not just VCS but also issues, merge requests, etc.) with you to continue somewhere else. Any service which doesn't run their service on free software is one to avoid URL:http://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html; free software projects need free tools to remain that way.
