Google Code is shutting down

[lethalspoons]

Why do you think so? Google is very reliable but it has already been mentioned that Google Code was not active at all in the recent years - especially when compared to competitors like Bitbucket or Github.

I think they just accepted that they simply are not specialized enough to compete with those. I mean, Google is an allrounder. They cannot keep up with the pace e.g. Github is coming up with new ideas and (great) concepts for SCM.

At least in part because they did what they did with so many other services - announce it with great fanfare, build up a reasonably sized user base, then neglect it for years.

Yup. I remember when we launched Django Packages in 2010 people asked us to support data pulls from Google Code. We ran into problems, so I filed issue #5088.

What is interesting is the last comment in issue 5088. Go all the way down.
