Last time I researched this topic, I came to the concusion github pages just can't do what SF did for the OpenOCD project so far. I might be wrong and I do not remember exact details to prove my point. > > I am not sure we have the capacity to self-host all the needed infra > > either. > > I could donate some hosting space to the project (with database and > php), but this would cover only website and files - to have a mailing > list I think you actually need a VPS, not a shared hosting (I may be > wrong here)... The problem with self-hosting is additional maintenance effort. I am sure current build/review server can handle it just fine, it's lack of the manpower rather than computing power that I fear. > Whatever we choose, I suggest we chose anything and do it soon - SF > won't be here forever and the service is not getting any better /; When > SF finally dies, there will be no mailing list to organize efforts... Is "SF is going to die soon" notion a universally accepted idea by now? I had some hopes for it but probably I'm being over-optimistic here. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ OpenOCD-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
