Relocate source from sourceforge to github

Post by Yannik »

As sourceforge has been massively going downhill for the last years (see http://www.gluster.org/2013/08/how-far- ... as-fallen/) and github really is superior to svn as a repository I would strongly recommend to relocate the source to github.

What do you think about that?

Well, that DevShare thing is fully opt-in. Can't blame the FileZilla dev, he's probably making a lot of (well deserved) money. I'm using OpenCandy instead for the Windows installer. Basically the same thing. I like OC better since I can pick what software is advertised, plus I don't like SF going with Ask.com, they should build their own like OC.

The webinterface on github gives us the possibility to submit small patches quickly without all the hassle that comes with submitting a patch on sourceforge. I think this would improve the possibility to contribute to filebot a lot.

Not if your build automation is based on SVN and revision numbers.

Besides, the SVN repo is mirrored onto GitHub, so you can fork it from there. Considering how filebot-node and scripts are on GitHub, with many forks but never any pull requests, there's no incentive. For new things GitHub is the way to go obviously. ;)
