Trying out Google code hosting
I’ve been meaning to try out Google Code and its project hosting, so today I setup a couple of projects there:
Neither is large, super useful or likely to be changed soon, so the wiki/bugtracking/newsgroups features aren’t super useful. I’m trying to setup a much more interesting project next, larger and C++ instead of scripting. Overall I was very impressed; it’s a ton easier than the GForge equivalent I’ve been through many times.
One (large) caveat - there’s currently a lifetime limit (!!) of ten projects. I’m going to ask for an increase before I spend too much time setting up projects, as ten isn’t sufficient. Sure, I can use other google logins to get ’round the limit, but I shouldn’t have to.
They also limit downloads to 100MB total, max 20-32MB each. I’ve asked for a quota boost on a third project, we’ll see there too.
I need to try sourceforge as well, but so far I’m very impressed - all very easy, clean interface, everything works, very snappy.
Oh yeah, these projects were previously (and still are) on my website, located here.
