Note that not only am I thinking of 'a' repository hosting solution, I was 
thinking it may be worthwhile to have the best available per platform.

For example, if adding the repo was 'yum copr enable xcat/core' or 
'add-apt-repository ppa:xcat/core', I think that's actually better than current 
situation for online situation.

I don't know about ease of enabling offline deployment and the 
'xCAT-genesis-base' package sticks out as something that doesn't get built in a 
particularly orthodox way that could be an issue for those environments….

The OpenSUSE build service seems to support most of the main stream Linux 
distributions: CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, SLES; I did some quick 
investigation, the ppc64/ppc64le support of these build services might be a 
problem. We need more investigation before we could decide.

I think overall we have an idea of what a post-sourceforge life will look like 
already, except for the online package repository.

Perhaps we should consider moving our package repositories to ppa/copr/opensuse 
build service?  We'd still download an archive for offline package 
repositories, but the online update strategy would move to one or more of those 
services.  ppa and copr have integration with Ubuntu and dnf for the respective 
platforms, so adding the repository might be easier and more consistent with 
other projects.
