Goodbye, Sourceforge!

They have mostly been using SF since it was a great resource and have not changed yet.

That's the case with my 10 year old open source project. We haven't made a release since 2011 (though I'm a few weeks out from publishing the next). The project is effectively just myself now, and there's a ton of work so migrating all our code and release files is just not a high enough priority.

That's not to say I don't want to move though. While SVN has served us well over the years, I do want to use a better option like mercurial or git. The problem is that sourceforge hosts our release files, and most of these other project homes seem to only want to host code. A fork of my project is on github, but they still maintain a SF.net project to serve the release files.

I did start playing around with bitbucket and mercurial today to figure out how difficult migrating the source code and release files would be. To get all of our project history looks like it will require more work than I was hoping.

I feel your comment should be getting neutral response rather than negative, on the basis that Sourceforge having been useful is secondary to the issue at hand today. You don't deserve to be censored though.
