[Python-Dev] migration away from SourceForge? (original) (raw)

Is it time to think seriously about moving away from SourceForge? Their cvs performance seems to be getting worse by the day. Bug updates also seem to fail periodically in a fashion that suggests system overload. I presume the parent company (is that still VA Linux?) is in dire enough financial straits that it can't afford to upgrade its infrastructure enough to meet the increased demand.

It seems we mostly need a CVS repository and a bug tracker. Is RoundUp close enough to fill the bug tracking bill? What options are available for CVS hosting?

OTOH, maybe we should try to convince Google to buy SF. ;-)
