[IPOL discuss] public clone repositories of the IPOL codes?

Thanks for the feedback.

Sourceforge[1] is easy to support too, it will just be another git
mirror. And it's a major code hosting service, so I add it ot my
list. Launchpad is the latest of the big 4, they have a different tech
model but it seems they can import git branches, so it should work. It
seems that mirroring in Codeforge can't be automated, so I'll ignore  
it.

Open source code indexing services, like Ohloh[3] and Freecode[4]
would probably be good too, but unless we index individual IPOL
software packages, instead of one bog code base, it won't be very
useful.

I clearly see the usefulness. But to redistribute binary packages, it
requires substantial work foe every IPOL software (the "packaging"
work). I'll postpone the idea for the moment. An intermediary solution
could be a package support, to download the latest IPOL sources via
apt-get. This would include only the sources, no executable, and
compiling is up to you.
