[geeklog-devel] Google shutting down Google Code

[Dirk Haun]

Things we only want to keep for archival purposes we could also host on http://project.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/ aka hg.geeklog.net

Our own repository is not a replacement for platforms like Google Code, since only people with commit access for Geeklog could commit changes there (and vice versa). Which is why I suggest to only use it for things that are static and not better kept elsewhere.

Speaking of which, I also received an email from Google Code about our GSoC repositories
google-summer-of-code-2007-geeklog
google-summer-of-code-2008-geeklog
google-summer-of-code-2009-geeklog
google-summer-of-code-2010-geeklog
These contain the contributions of our GSoC students for the respective years. We don't exactly need them (the code is already in our repository in one form or another) but I simply hate losing stuff, especially things that a lot of effort went into. I'll look into getting those over to hg.geeklog.net

Dirk
