Btw, Garth and I have discussed the possibility of moving the
repositories from fenics.org to Bitbucket. Less to maintain and we
don't need to rely on the good will of someones IT support (which may
not be indefinite).
I assume you want to move all of FEniCS over to bitbucket's service.
This will be quite a migration for all the different apps, but in
general I have been very pleased with bitbucket. Why not switch to
bazaar and integrate the code with the launchpad system?
That's a possibility.
Here's quick run down on pro/cons that I see. Feel free to add to it.
Launchpad:
Pros:
Nice interface
Blueprints
We're already using it
Mailing lists
Release planning
Free
Cons:
bazaar: we'd have to learn it. Is it fast enough?
Its supposedly faster than mercurial now ( http://bazaar-vcs.org/Benchmarks ).
Bitbucket:
Pros:
Mercurial
Nice interface
Wiki
Simple management of ssh keys
Something missing here is the fork ability. I don't think launchpad
has this mechanism where you can make a fork a project and requests
pulls easily. It something I do a lot with bitbucket (and github),
but I don't think that outweighs nice integration with a bug tracker.
