I'm not sure I've ever posted on this list, but I do follow along since
I am interested in wsjt development. One thing I believe is very
important is the preservation of code history. It's one of the reasons
people use a source code management system. I know with svn it is
possible to create an archive of the entire repository so that it can be
easily moved to another system with all branches and checkin history
intact. I've forgotten the exact details of this operation since I
haven't been responsible for such an operation in many years.
Anyway, I hope that BerliOS will support such a transition to
SourceForge. I would hate for the migration to be a simple checkout of
top of tree and then starting over on SourceForge.

Thanks to all for the input and suggestions on a new project hosting

I understand the comparisons between git and svn, and also some of the
advantages/disadvantages of various possible sites, including
GitHub (most features are git-oriented; no mailing list support)
Gitorious ( " )
GNU Savannah (doesn't allow "non-free" requirements, like our kvasd)
Google Code (doesn't support mailman)
Launchpad (doesn't support svn)
SourceForge (ugly pages, advertising, etc...)
I've used git -- it's a good system. On balance, though, I think our
path of least resistance (and least disruption) is to stick with
Subversion as our base repository. Individuals can always use git
locally, and I imagine some already do.
SourceForge seems to meet all our needs and will supposedly migrate
our whole project seamlessly. I'm inclined to ask them to do this,
and see how we like it. If all seems well, we can then decide to move
all subsequent work there.
Questions:
1. Any objections or further appeals to reason? :-)
2. When to do this?
3. Bill, would you prefer to commit your big changes to WSJT-X first?
Or perhaps to make a branch, and commit your new code to that?
