I wonder what Dana has been smoking? If I still
smoked, I'd like to
sample that. I know of one project that left in the last month, mainly
because cvs only worked a few hours a week. Life's too short for that
BS.
There are reasons
jackaudio.org and
ardour.org now exist. As I
understand it, sourceforge's persistent cvs access difficulties played
no small part in those moves.
My experience with sourceforge leads me to tentatively conclude:
If you have a low-priority project that you work on intermittently,
with maybe a few other developers, and you don't want to bother with
setting up any infrastructure (i.e. public repositories and trackers),
it's very very useful. I'm involved with a couple of projects like
this.
If you live and breathe some particular project(s), you *will* get bit
by sourceforge service outages and the inability to really tweak the
infrastructure to your needs.
