Perhaps it makes more sense for linked binaries than for scripts or |

java (ie, 99% of web hosting)? |

In any case, the solution we're using today is Github, which also |
11 |
doesn't run on Gentoo and is proprietary, because nobody can be |
12 |
bothered to deal with getting Gitlab to run on Gentoo. It seems like |
13 |
at least moving to something that could conceivably be self-hosted on |
14 |
any distro (perhaps even Gentoo) would be an improvement. |

However, as others have pointed out Gitlab apparently needs fairly |
17 |
frequent updates. So, it is something that would require a bit of |
18 |
care. That would be an argument for hosting it on an |
19 |
upstream-recommended platform that actually gets updates if we want to |
20 |
host it ourselves. If we had a long line of people willing to keep |
21 |
everything up to date on Gentoo that would be one thing, but right now |
22 |
it isn't even packaged, which doesn't speak well for rapid security |
23 |
updates. |

I guess in the meantime we can just stick with Github... |
