That's right. Enough of a vocal stink was thrown when the infrastructure committee chose a closed source, Java issue tracker that we went with Roundup instead, even though Atlassian offered to host the tracker for us. > > I'm wondering if they'd be similarly interested in supporting our Hg > server.

Looking at their pricing model, we don't need permission; public repos can have unlimited contributors. Plus bitbucket supports CNAMEs so we would also be able to still have hg.python.org for accessing the repos. The trick would be managing accounts. I would assume either everyone would need bitbucket accounts to add as contributors to a repo, or a dummy python-dev user account would be created where select core devs could add SSH keys to the python-dev user account (although I think the latter would destroy the commit history in terms of who made what change as I suspect bitbucket does it based on the bitbucket account and not one's .hgrc info although I could be wrong). Without knowing how this would be handled I can't really comment. > > regards > Steve > -- > Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 > DjangoCon US September 7-9, 2010 http://djangocon.us/ > See Python Video! http://python.mirocommunity.org/ > Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/brett%40python.org > _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
