Where should we host our software repository?

Some requirements:

  • ensure that the community has full control on stored content

  • be entirely based on open-source software

  • prefer open hosting over closed hosting, if possible

  • technology should allow the community to host its own repository in the future

  • ensure consistent usage across various operating systems (namely, Windows, Mac OSX and Linux)

  • be provided at no cost for the community

 

What else?

what about http://github.com/ ? it's free for open source projects, and seems to provide many graphicals interfaces to manage sources.

another solution could be to store repositery on yacs.fr server.

It's a linux machine, and GIT comes with git-daemon with permit to download sources.

maintainers need ssh access.
