As I've said elsewhere, freshmeat.net was better :-)

For project discovery, definitely -- but not as a source code repository.

Wow, we're dating ourselves on this, but I remember when it was a big deal that SF.net added SVN support. They apparently didn't turn off CVS until 2017!

  • Yeah, I remember introducing a web dev company to SVN in about oh maybe 2006. Prior to that their "version control" was a webroot full of shit like "index.php", "index.php.old", "index.php.broken", "index.ryan.donottouch.php", "indexTUESDAY.php" and so on.

    Yeah no, guys, that's not what I meant. Let me just show you this real quick...

    I wonder if enough of freshmeat still exists on the Wayback machine to make a clone, maybe a skin for forgejo?

    Simpler times, simpler everything.
