      12 Jan 18 11:55, you wrote to me:               ac>> RC> something up again. Would much prefer just using an 'official'        ac>> RC> repository. (I'm a member of the project but not an admin...)        ac>>        ac>> At this point it's probably best to move it to GitHub.               RC> Any particular reason?              Once SourceForge started bundling malware with their binaries a couple of       years ago I felt it was Game Over for them.              GitHub feels well-run in comparison, and also well-funded. It's also a lot       simpler to use, once you get over the initial hump of switching from CVS or       Subversion to Git for version control.              I notice Apple, Microsoft and IBM are using it. That's a decent endorsement.              And while not an ideal outcome, Google shut down their Google Code service       because of how successful GitHub was.               ac>> From what I understand, binaries for GoldED+ could be made available        ac>> for download from a GitHub Pages site.               RC> Yes, there are a number of ways one can do that. (I have or am        RC> associated with a number of projects at GitHub...) But they do not, to        RC> my knowledge, have a file mirroring network like Sourceforge does.              GitHub would use a content distribution network internally.              AFAIK SourceForge never had any mirrors in or near Australia so that point is       a bit academic from where I sit.              --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267)    |
