Debian's Own SourceForge

Posted by timothy on from the join-us-now-and-free-the-software dept.

rescdsk writes "Raphael Hertzog recently announced Alioth, a SourceForge installation dedicated for Debian use. All developers automatically have accounts, though anyone may get an account. Quoting the front page, the purpose of Alioth is multiple: to provide facilities to free software projects supported by Debian developers, to make it easier for non-Debian developers to contribute to projects initiated by Debian, and to support projects whose goal is to promote Debian or one of its derivatives. Go peer with great wonder!"

    Yes, but BSD might just not be here tomorrow, since it's dying. See, ports are great but BSD is dead. It's official. Netcraft confirms it.

    Haven't you heard of that there crippling bombshell? Heh.

    Actually I've been using CRUX for a few weeks and like the ports system enough to try BSD, though CRUX is customizable enough that you can drop in your own bootscripts, profiles, and other config files.
