sf.net has a lot of people migrating away because it can be extremely slow, the tracker interface isnt up to scratch, and its quite unreliable (they recently reset everyones password in the middle of an inkscape launch)

launchpad seems to be the best tracker around, but if you dont use bzr, or git, I would possibly just put your code on google code and use launchpad for everything else

You're right, you can have your code in svn on Google Code, and setup the project on Launchpad, so the code is automagically imported into a Bzr branch.

I've got a Bzr branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/gtkfilesplitter/trun...) imported from (http://gtkfilesplitter.googlecode.com/svn/)

how is keeping both current working for you?

Is that automatic, and is it easy to setup? Or do you have to create/import the branch manually?

Agree, sf.net has too many projects on it and checkin/chekout speed is very slow sometimes. I have a project on Google Code and so far I am happy with it.

I also use github, so far has not seen problems. As ruby on rails moved to git, I believe lots of open source ruby projects may follow.
