[Xerte] Source code hosting

[Julian Tenney]

Launchpad uses bazaar for version control. I really like SVN / TortoiseSVN, and would prefer to stick with it. I've been using them a long time, know how to work with it, and trust it. Have you got any experience with Bazaar?

I'm thinking that sourceforge is probably the answer in an 'original and best' sort of way.

Thanks,

The sourceforge forums aren't particularly user friendly, although they
do slowly seem to be putting some effort into revamping the whole
interface and adding new features/stuff. Making releases of software on
sourceforge isn't a pain-free process.


I've used sourceforge quite a lot, and have no complaints. Google's code
is obviously newer and perhaps learns from sourceforge's mistakes?

You might also want to look at launchpad.
