Any merits/demerits you see with github? Not really. On the web interface, the github one provides better functionality - for example the compare view which is a lot better than gitweb on git.postgresql.org, particularly when checking work-in-progress patches, IMHO. On the git side of things, they both support the same thing - if someone wants to merge your patch they can just add it the remote and fetch, regardless of if it's in the github or git.pg.org repository. Personally, I don't see any advantage at all of git.postgresql.org over github for a development repository. Others may have different opinions, of course. For a *primary* repository, there can certainly be reasons. Which is why for example pgadmin3 has the main repository on git.postgresql.org - but the developers who use public repos (for example Guillaume - http://github.com/gleu) use github. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
