Try it and let us know. You can download the binaries at bitkeeper.org and then clone the repo like so:

    $ bk clone http://bkbits.net/u/bk/bugfix/

type make and you should have a working BK built from source.

Are you aware of any hosting solutions that support BK as-is? eg something like Gogs or similar

Asking due to looking for a Gogs/GitLab (like) server side solution for a project under development. However, it needs to handle binary data well, which Git-based solutions don't.

  • We've got a very primitive hosting service up at bkbits.net. One of the ways we hope to survive is to evolve that into something closer to Github.

    • I really hope that takes off -- I'm interested in something that like Git but which actually makes sense without costing lots of neurons to understand how to use it in practice.

  • Consider using Git LFS for binary data, our GitLab.com supports it up to 10GB per project, self hosted installations are limited only by the disk volume.
