choosing a hosted scm for open source project
Patrick Dunnigan
I am planning on putting out my first open source tcl extension in the
coming weeks. More to come on that.
In the meantime, the fossil discussion has spurred some thought as to
where I'll have the source hosted. I had it in my mind that it would
be sourceforge, but the tcl/tk move to fossil has me questioning
that.
Therefore, what are some opinions on the available open source code
repositories? Here's a short list: Google Code, Github, SourceForge,
etc. I don't believe there is a public Fossil repository?
My requirements (or wants):
- free, online hosted
- reliable
- svn support
- tickets / bug tracker
- wiki
- files (download packages)
- security
- what am I missing?
I think I am leaning towards Google Code. Feedback?
Thanks,
Patrick Dunnigan

I was skeptical of the "community" factor offered by Github or Bitbucket
(hg/mercurial).
I now believe it is a very good idea.
Recently, I was looking to add JSON support to a project. A Google search
revealed several projects. The ones on Github were most attractive to me,
because I knew that if I had to dig into the code, I could fork it, and
publish changes right away.

I would also vote Github if you don't mind learning a new tool, or Bitbucket
if you are very familiar with svn and want to stay close to that.

I wonder if something like this could be built up around Fossil-SCM?
