Haiku GitHub

@nipos

Github is a proprietary walled-garden owned by Micro$oft, our biggest competitor.

Git was designed by, and for, £inux kernel development. So it is the spawn of £inux and M$ - both our mortal enemies

@javanx

I fear that a move to something more widespread (and not designed in the '90s) than Trac will become a necessity.

I suspect not.

It’s not a coincidence GitHub advertises itself as “world’s most widely adopted”. That’s all they can say about it to promote it. In just the same way, systemd in GNU/Linux world is routinely advertised as “widely adopted”, with a “use it or else…” mentality.

I have a lot of sympathy with this viewpoint. Haiku gets a bit of flack over having ports rather than own native software, and so it makes sense to maintain our own sovereignty in areas we can control rather than fall into line with £inux and M$. There are newer tools for revision control and bug tracking such as Fossil that postdate even Git and have feature sets to match.
