http://javageek.org/tags/codehaus/ For the love of Java en Guillermo Castro Fri, 12 Nov 2010 16:04:24 GMT Pebble (http://pebble.sourceforge.net) http://backend.userland.com/rss http://javageek.org/2005/12/08/sourceforge_cvs_servers_down.html I was trying last night to update my CVS copy of the <a href="http://www.springframework.org/spring-rcp">Spring Rich Client project</a>, which is in its early alpha stages (more about this project on a later post). Since 10pm CST I kept retrying every now and then, to no avail. Apparently <a href="http://sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</a>'s CVS servers were down yesterday. I tried again this morning, before coming to work, but the server was still down.<br /><br />What happens when so many projects that depend on sourceforge get stalled because the servers aren't working? Who is to blame? I know that sourceforge provides a free service, and as such we shouldn't complain, but since when free means bad service? With Java projects <a href="http://www.advogato.org/person/jvic/diary.html?start=27">being the most popular on sourceforge</a>, I wonder if there aren't better options.<br /><br />I'm already considering other options for project hosting at the moment, since sourceforge doesn't have subversion repositories. Right now I'm looking at <a href="http://www.javaforge.com/">JavaForge</a>, but the site also seems a little flaky to me (not what you would call a version 1.0 release). <a href="http://www.java.net/">Java.net</a> is also another choice, but they don't provide subversion repositories either. Another one is <a href="http://codehaus.org/">codehaus</a>, but they seem to be an invite-only setup, since there's no way to create an account or a project there (at least not easily).<br /><br />What other project hosting solutions are there for java projects? Is self-hosting the better choice now?<br /> <p> </p> <!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://javageek.org/2005/12/08/sourceforge_cvs_servers_down.html" dc:identifier="http://javageek.org/2005/12/08/sourceforge_cvs_servers_down.html" dc:title="SourceForge cvs servers down" trackback:ping="http://javageek.org/addTrackBack.action?entry=1134054288807&token=7483676963010216598" /> </rdf:RDF> --> Java http://javageek.org/2005/12/08/sourceforge_cvs_servers_down.html#comments http://javageek.org/2005/12/08/sourceforge_cvs_servers_down.html Thu, 08 Dec 2005 15:04:48 GMT
