Hello,

I am the developer of a port (sysutils/clone) which is hosted on Google =
Code (https://code.google.com/p/clone/). 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
