Hello everyone,
several OBS developers are currently thinking about moving our code from Gitorious to Github. During the last months, Gitorious showed many stability issues (including today, when they lost SSH keys). We believe that Github has countless advantages:
* The URL is shorter * Has way better availability * E-mail notifications actually work * Requests can be merged in the browser * Better support for server-side commit hooks * Half of the openSUSE project (that used to be on Gitorious) is already there * OBS is there too (mirrored only): https://github.com/openSUSE/Open-Build- Service * It is actively developed
To be complete, Gitorious also has advantages:
* It's free software
It should be mentioned that we (as in adrian, coolo and me) don't care at all about the latter point as Github is really Open Source friendly. However, if you see issues in the above proposal please speak up, otherwise we may simply move in the next days. Gitorious will either be dropped completely or remain as a read-only mirror... -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke
Since I don't touch the code base my opinion doesn't count, but just wanted to mention that I've really liked using github and to be honest I think the interface is much faster and nicer to look at (IMHO).
