Hello All,
per the recent FreeDOS virtual get-together…
When browsing the online repo, it showed many of the links out to project homes
no longer worked. While many other links still resolved, there were a lot of
projects that abandoned DOS in favor of focusing on Windows, Linux or other
platforms. So many Orphans and Abandoned programs, something needed done.
Over the last week, I spend numerous hours verifying the state of the projects
in the Official Repository. Every Orphaned or Abandoned project I found has now
been given a home at https://gitlab.com/FDOS <https://gitlab.com/FDOS> . Also,
space has already been given to the projects that still have a home elsewhere
on the internet. The projects who still have such a home are not publicly
visible or accessible on GitLab. However, they can be made so without
difficulty in a moments notice.
I have updated some of the meta data for the Orphaned and Abandoned programs to
point to their new home. Eventually, I will complete updating those package
links in the online repositories as well.
There are several reasons GitLab was chosen over other VCS providers.
It is open source.
You “can” run your own instance on your own hardware.
Projects can be grouped into Sub-projects without any fuss.
Unlimited public and private repositories for free.
Detailed and flexible user management for free.
Easy export of projects or entire groups of projects.
:-)
