    I'm starting to wonder whether operating a shared #code-hosting platform is only possible with sponsorship. #Gitorious collapsed because their paid hosting couldn't cover their costs (which includes the cost of free hosting). I don't believe #Github ever publicly released figures, but I do remember hearing a rumor that they were not profitable before #Microsoft purchased them. #Bitbucket still persists, but #Atlassian has made so many changes to their offerings that IMO, using their platform is putting everything that touches it at risk. #SourceForge went to all sorts of dangerous extremes to try to monetize the huge number of repositories they host (most of which appear to be residue of projects that have either died or moved their active repos elsewhere).

    #Darcs_Hub ( #Darcs ), #The_Nest ( #Pijul ), and #ChiselApp ( #Fossil ) are all too small to experience the tremendous cost factors.

    Most of what I do goes into my #Fossil repo, but I'm also trying to use #Darcs, #Breezy, #Pijul, and #Hg enough to be able to fairly say which ones work best for me.

    You'll notice that #Git is not in that list. I'm having to use git whenever I deal with other people's code projects, so I already know that it isn't tailored for my needs.

    I also think that our #code-hosting solutions needn't presume #git. All of #hg, #fossil, #darcs, #pijul, #brz can be viable depending on the project & organization.

    (See conversation here: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1361-f814-24c4-aa2977913506 )

    There's another related thread that I can't find right now.

    I should find out whether #Darcs and #Pijul have #IRC channels set up for their users. It looks like #Fossil has an unofficial channel (latest info says it is on Freenode). I should also look for #Mercurial and #Git and #Breezy / #Bazaar.

    Correction: #Pijul ... it is a #dvcs / #scm system written in #Rust, and an evolution of some of the ideas behind #Haskell's #Darcs, including fleshing out the theoretical basis and solving a couple of major bugs.

    Oh, weird. The site for the #Darcs #DVCS / #SCM software is now blank.

    I can only assume an attacker defaced the site and they just relaunched it, as there is not even a front page created yet (it is a wiki).

    @geniusmusing I find #git to be too big and complex for my needs (and arguably for most projects). I know it β€œwon” and even some projects that formerly used another #VCS ( such as Mercurial #hg, #darcs, Bazaar #bzr / Breezy #brz ) are switching.

    In the plans: a very limited #Kallithea install (with git and Mercurial) and #Fossil for Federati ... when I have more funds and energy to devote to getting it going on its own VPS.

    Okay, I think I'm going to temporarily stop the efforts to install #Pijul #scm #vcs ... the forum suggests that installing the latest Rustup would fix things, but there's a checksum error showing up.

    On the other hand, I now have a current version of #Darcs installed (on Windows; the Ubuntu repositories only have 2.14).

    I'll play around with it a little.

    So the #Pijul compile failed on both operating systems.

    The #Darcs compile finished successfully.

    @bthall had some problems compiling #Pijul, so I’m testing it. On the Win10 machine, it failed on libsodium. On Kubuntu, it is still going, with all 4 CPU cores pegged at 98%+ and using all the swap.

    I also noticed that the newest version of #Darcs now has a pre-compiled binary for Windows ... but I decided to try to compile it (in progress).

    A Categorical Theory of Patches

    A formalization of the #Darcs theory of patches. Darcs ( http://darcs.net/ ) is a #DVCS, like #git or #hg or #Fossil, but based around patches.

    1. Darcs - FrontPage
    2. A Categorical Theory of Patches
      When working with distant collaborators on the same documents, one often uses a version control system, which is a program tracking the history of files and helping importing modifications brought by others as patches. The implementation of such a system requires to handle lots of situations depending on the operations performed by users on files, and it is thus difficult to ensure that all the corner cases have been correctly addressed. Here, instead of verifying the implementation of such a system, we adopt a complementary approach: we introduce a theoretical model, which is defined abstractly by the universal property that it should satisfy, and work out a concrete description of it. We begin by defining a category of files and patches, where the operation of merging the effect of two coinitial patches is defined by pushout. Since two patches can be incompatible, such a pushout does not necessarily exist in the category, which raises the question of which is the correct category to represent and manipulate files in conflicting state. We provide an answer by investigating the free completion of the category of files under finite colimits, and give an explicit description of this category: its objects are finite sets labeled by lines equipped with a transitive relation and morphisms are partial functions respecting labeling and relations.

    I much prefer #Fossil to #Git.

    I haven't really used #Breezy / #brz ( the actively developed fork of #Bazaar / #bzr ) or #Mercurial / #hg or #Darcs or #Pijul. I should explore some of these.

    Maybe I should see about getting a #Launchpad account.

    1. Is this project still active? Yes it is
      I’m answering here to Discussion #444 on the Nest. Is Pijul still under active development? Last patches on master were June 8th? It seems like patches were pretty regular before then, maybe work is just being done in private and not pushed to public but I sure hope there is still activity, I really love this project. That’s right, the last patches are pretty old. A few things have happened since then, but they’re not public yet. This has included (1) thinking about new algorithms to solve ...

    @moonman My feelings exactly. I didn't have anything original there ( #Github ) in the first place, but I had patches for others' projects. I removed everything several years ago. Yes, a couple of potential employers have passed on hiring me because my GH account was empty. I just (A) don't want to support centralized facilities like GH or SourceForge any more, when you can host your own #git / #hg / #darcs / fossil; and (B) as my role at work has changed more toward user support, I'm not creating or using such patches any more, so if someone found and started using them, they'd be potentially doing it wrong / importing security holes.

    ( For a while, I had my own #Fossil repo with some original stuff, but thanks to hosting changes are $EMPLOYER work scheduling / hotel Internet, that's all gone, too. )

    @bthall Iβ€˜m sure there’s an API document for #Pijul somewhere. Or that may be an area where it is similar to something else, such as #Darcs. Anyway, if you find said document, you should be able to make a fully functioning client in #Python.

    @tekk to continue with tradeoffs, you need to bear in mind when considering #darcs that their merge algorithm will occasionally bump into exponential (that is, 2^n) cases. Projects often dismiss it based on performance because of it.

    If #git isn't the right version-control system for your work, there are others that may or may not fit your needs. Look at #hg (mercurial), #bzr (bazaar), #fossil, #darcs, or #svn (subversion). I know svn has a gui tool available for Windows. Not sure what kind of gui tools the others may offer.
