In light of the recent dramas around RubyGems.org[1] I thought it would
be good to have some other independent distribution channel for Sup
releases, which is not reliant on the goodwill of some company.
I have also been thinking for a while about reducing dependencies on
GitHub, for a similar reason. So I was not keen to start publishing
releases on GitHub either, nor relying more on GitHub Pages.
I wish we still had Sup's old domain,
supmua.org. Unfortunately that
domain lapsed a long time ago and is still held by domain squatters.
I went ahead and registered a new domain,
supmua.dev. I have put up the
old Sup web site there:
https://supmua.dev/
and now the GitHub Pages site at
https://sup-heliotrope.github.io/
redirects to the new domain.
I also made a few small tweaks to the content of the site, and added
a page with an archive of all existing Sup released gems:
https://supmua.dev/releases/
I also set up public-inbox[2] with a searchable archive of the current
supmua Google Group, as well as the old RubyForge mailing lists:
https://supmua.dev/lists/
Hit reply if you see anything amiss with the new domain.
