That was one of my motivations. If we could move these in with the source then there would be no need for the packages to be in mirrors. I'll try bringing in packages for every LFS release and see what it totals out to and contact github to see what they would think. I've also created a gitorious account to see what things are like there. I can't see any defined account limit but I do see a 500M/month limit in their TOS ( http://en.gitorious.org/tos/ ). And I already know Google code's git repos won't work for this. They could do just the book (I think), but not the code and the book. A different way to approach this is to set up git repositories for each release's packages and then using git submodules to connect to them. The downside is that you have to specify repository urls for submodules which locks where the package repos go. I like the idea of being able to move from github to gitorious to savanah to whatever based on who fits our needs best. It's not impossible to achieve that, but it would be harder.
