When I moved the Buildfarm code from pgFoundry to GitHub, I started distributing release tarballs from there too. But now GitHub has decided that they won't support that any longer. I suspect that they are being a bit disingenuous about their reasons, which probably have more to do with abuse than confusion.
I will probably move the releases to the buildfarm server - they are tiny and there is not a huge demand. But GitHub isn't the only kid on the block. They need to remember that. I know for sure I'm not the only person annoyed about it.
That appplies to us with orafce too. I guess we'll move to Sourceforge.net
ReplyDeleteI notice Bitbucket has this facility, too.
DeleteWe have been bitten by this too - we found it really weird that no one else was complaining! Its strange, seems like an integral part of an open source project - artefact distribution.
