  • The GitHub concept of forking would make individual developers branches easier to manage.
  • The GitHub concept of forking and push-requests would make it easier for people who are not core developers to submit patches and for the core developers to review them and apply them.
  • People have been complaining about flyspray for a while and the GitHub tracker is nicely integrated into the repository making it easy to relate issues to code and patches.
  • The GitHub web-UI means that the code is easier to browse, inspect, view history (and relate changes to issues) than the "default" Git one that is in use at the moment.
  • There would be no need for anyone to spend time or money maintaining/patching/fixing the SIP Router Git repo and flyspray.
  • Someone else is handling backups and failure recovery.
  • The use of markdown means that documentation and code can be presented together in a nice way with GitHub.

I am sure there are more too (which is why so many projects are on there now).

Apart from this, there's a massive concentration of code and projects on a single site. Sourceforge now is rumoured to send malware with downloads, what can happen to github in the future? Is this concentration a Good Thing (TM) ?

The Internet is distributed.

Peter,

What do you see to be GitHub's virtues for this project?

Hello,

There was some talk about restructuring the Kamailio code (for example, putting the core into an "src/" or "core/" directory and having an "include/" directory).

Would there be any mileage in considering a move to GitHub for the repository at the same time?

Regards,

Peter
