In the past, I prepared release = snapshots for the ports tree to be downloaded from the very projects = site.=20 At the end of the last year, Google Code changed their policy to not to = allow anymore new downloads from the projects sites, while old downloads = are still available, at least for the time being. I am going to prepare a new release for the FreeBSD ports, and I am now = in doubt where to place the release snapshot of the source code: Questions: Is it acceptable for FreeBSD, if I would place new snapshots on one of = my personal sites? How do others deal with the new policy on GC? Is it perhaps better to move the whole project to another service, which = one?=20 Best regards Rolf
