svn.smspower.org seems to be down
Post Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:59 am
The host name resolves, but the server seems to be down for some reason (which makes updating the gentoo ebuild for mekanix (still stuck on 0.70) a bit of a problem)

Any info on uptime?

Sorry, we indeed lost the server about 3 months ago and haven't got to create a new one yet. We have backup of the virtual machine + the SVN data but need a host for it.

List of SVN hosting links: http://www.straw-dogs.co.uk/09/20/6-free-svn-project-hosting-services/

Of those: I would suggest Google Code (which requires a Google account) or Sourceforge (though chossing SF would entail re-licensing MEKA to an OSI-compliant license)

Google Code also requires you to use one of a small set of OSI licences.

I could run an SVN server these days, but it'd be very slow, not least because it'd be on the same machine as Transmission :P

Well the big question would be... is MEKA (in the latest possible sources on SVN) ready to be licensed under an OSI-compatible license?

They also accept any other license considered open-source by the OSI, and one can type in their own license and hope that SF.net considers it open-source

MEKA is ok with a BSD like license, but we want to host different other projects on the server and not have to bother too much with license issues.
(Note that I worked on KunKun2 on GoogleCode, I think it works great and the issue tracking also is great)

In any case, the article has a list of Free SVN hosts to pick from.

We prefer not to rely on free services in general, at least without having a decent way to backup the data. Google Code is at least a little less likely to disappear overnight (as a company, not as a service).

Hmm, TortoiseGit exists... distributed hostless VCS might be the way to go.
