I know git.musicpd.org is unstable, it is striked by a kernel bug every few days, Alexander knows this and has proposed to move from KVM to Xen. But that's not my way of solving problems, I'm going to debug that kernel bug, and I'll fix it... unfortunately I'm too busy with coding MPD, little time for debugging the server... sorry for that. It will be solved, and I hope soon. Besides the current kernel bug, I believe the current git.musicpd.org solution is fine. It brings developers closer together, and gives us more control, and visitors have a better overview and less confusion. Your solution is of course also interesting, but I'm not voting for it. If the others outvote me, of course I'll accomodate. > - Anyone can join without needing special handshake > - No need to wait before beginning development Anyone can join right now by cloning on repo.or.cz. But he can later move over to git.musicpd.org if he likes. Nobody has to wait for Alexander, me or you before he can begin development. Any contributor can even send patches to the mailing list, without a public repository. > No real control > - No real /need/ for control imho > Not really under the musicpd.org umbrella > - Is this /really/ a con? Agree, it's more like "nice to have". I enjoy that. And I enjoy that we can simply mirror other projects with a cronjob, even svn projects thanks to Eric's excellent git-svn tool. Always having a mirror with full history might encourage others to pick up orphaned projects - that's one major problem of MPD: too many one-person projects which are orphaned some day, and people create clones instead of reusing existing code, resulting in too many pre-alpha stage experimental clients.
