Free alternatives to sourceforce?
Posted: 23 Aug 2013, 18:04
Hi,
I've been a user of sourceforge project hosting system for quite some time, but recent changes regarding advertising banners, and some malware/adware reports, and other policy changes are make me want to search for a new hosting solution for current of future projects. Guess things like this http://www.gluster.org/2013/08/how-far- ... as-fallen/ were just too much for me.
What I've used:
Sourceforge - was easier to setup projects, add several good tools and their system uptime was good for the projects I have, now I want to move away from it as fast as possible;
Berlios - used it before the all shutdown process that ended up not being a shutdown, software and tools provided are old and interface is a mess, would prefer not to use it again and will move any projects I still have there;
Github - proprietary system, though very easy to use and one of the best systems that provides a git central point, doesn't offer website hosting or databases unfortunately
Gitorious - tested it once, seems a bit dead or is am I wrong?
Bitbucket - same issues as github
So, what I would like to ask is what are you using that is not self hosted and what do you recommend? I would prefer a free software system but I don't see one that is not either old and unusable or that I trust to be around and not just treat to close like Berlios.
