i'm one of the developers of gpsd which is hosted at berlios. not long ago, we had a few rough weeks which caused us to do some initial investigation of alternate project hosting.
their web server uses a wildcard certificate not signed by a known CA... scary. mailing list archives are .... sub-optimal. they don't seem to allow robots which means you can't search the lists with google or whatever. we solved that by asking MARC to archive our lists. their network seems to be slow; it could have something to do with the fact that my packets have to go all the way across north america and then all the way across the atlantic ocean. we've had a number of issues with their disks filling up causing svn to not work any more. they get fixed eventually. as berlios seems to be a side project of an academic institution, we're somewhat at the mercy of their schedule. during exam season or holidays there probably won't be anyone minding the store. i'm very grateful to berlios for the services they offer; there are just a few observations i've made in the time i've been using them for project hosting. -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
