Thread: Discouraging new projects from pgFoundry
Hi, Here's an extract from our docs: "If you have a PostgreSQL-related open source project that you would like to have hosted at PgFoundry, please feel free to create a new project there." Link: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/external-projects.html -- Thom

But I'm not sure what to update it to. I also note that www.pgfoundry.org has no notice that we're planning to pull the plug on it. I've been thinking of migrating pldebugger out of pgfoundry, converting it to git, and modernizing it by packaging as an extension. What should I do? I can host the git repository at github or git.postgresql.org, but what's the best place to get a website, a wiki, and a mailing list these days? sourceforge? -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

If you need mailinglists, I think that's pretty much where you have to go. github will give you everything except a mailinglist, and I believe the same holds for bitbucket. I don't know of anybody other than sourceforge that actually provide mailinglists. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Hmm, pldebugger is quite intimately related to pgAdmin, as that's the GUI that uses the pldebugger API, so on second thought it's probably best to just have all pldebugger-related discussions on the pgadmin mailing list. In fact, there's currently no mailing list for pldebugger anyway, so the volume isn't very high :-). Then github can provide everything else. Actually, I'm not sure if pldebugger needs a separate website either, could just create a subpage on the pgadmin website. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

I'll be moving it to git.postgresql.org in the not-to-distant future. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

FWIW, I'm thinking of pushing pg_filedump to sourceforge. But that's
mostly because I already have a sourceforge account, not because it
needs a mailing list ...
