#220848 — Publish open source software

Hi.

Would like to publish some open source software.
In the past I used sourceforge but I don't like their policies anymore.

Is git the way to go nowadays?

But then again I do not like MS `|` github.

Any recommendations please...

I'm not registered there nor have any repositories there but may in the
future.  I see a lot of Free Software development migrating to Gitlab:

https://about.gitlab.com/

It is also a product that can be self hosted as some projects are doing.

Thanks for the hint anyhow!

When I have to pay to contribute to the community...
I rather host it myself (as I do now)

With Gitlab, you don't have to pay anything at all but they are also
proposing payed services.

I'm not affiliated with Gitlab in any way.

They are providing free hosting for Open Source and Education:

If your project is (loosely) related to Debian you could also host it on 
Salsa (Debian's Gitlab instance at salsa.debian.org). Probably not 
recommended for big-ish projects as it's a little bit resource 
constrained.
 
Depending on the size of the project and expected contributors something 
like Gitlab might be overkill. You could get away with plain git if you 
can make it accessible for others to clone from.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Besides gitlab, which was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, there
is Savannah [1] (recommended if you prefer the "Free" spelling of
"Open Source" ;-)

If you're looking for others, this Wikipedia [2] entry might be also
interesting to you.

Cheers

Back when I was looking for a new home for Chrony I looked into
Savannah.  They required "corrections" to the documentation such as
replacement of all mentions of Linux with GNU/Linux.

I have no objection to their terminology but imposing a (retroactive!)
requirement of ideologically correct language on hosted projects seemed
a bit too intrusive to me.

Yes, that's why I added that constraint.

To each her own.
