Forgetting about the git aspect for a moment, I'm strongly in favor of a DVCS-centered site. That is, +1 to bitbucket, github, gitorious, ++, and -1 to SourceForge, Google Code, etc. It is simply much nicer to let people create a personal feature/bugfix branch with the click of a button, and work with pull requests of those branches within a website and tracker designed around that, than having to send patches around manually in the ticket system. One ticket, one branch :-) Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
