SourceForge was absolutely amazing in 2000. It certainly hasn't kept up with technology, and is a horrible ad-infested mess now, but it (and its failed competitors, like Xnot if I remember the name correctly) played a huge role in promoting and distributing open source and Free software back in the day.
Ah, I remember the days when I lived on Sourceforge and Freshmeat.net...
Me too, but this is not the SourceForge of 2000 anymore.
Oh, I completely agree. I have a project on Sourceforge that I've moved (recently) to Github.
Looks like they used Mercurial.
Someone please convert it to git and put it on GitHub...
You could do it?
and even `git svn`
.. I'm never going back to that
Or Bitbucket...wouldn't even need to convert the repo to git.
With hggit, you can transparently use github from Mercurial.
someone should a build a service that does it - provide a sourceforge url and get back a github url. dont know if it is possible but it would be nice
everytime im on sourceforge i constantly find myself wishing the website would just die
Similarly, a Chrome extension that converts Sourceforge download links to direct download links.
