does dmca push us further toward distributed rev control?

[Braids]

rares got {another?} DMCA Dimwits Making Copyright Allegations notice recently. does this push us sooner toward a distributed revision control system? is there anything decentralized or peer to peer that we should consider using?

edit 1: fixed typo.

my research indicates we'd still have trouble using github:

i think we'd have to find something that is peer to peer or based in . . . Sweden?

I think any host in europe (at least in Germany) should be fine, since the rules of a game are not protected by copyright here, only the pictures, texts and terms (Tapping).

Pretty much github or http://repo.or.cz/ for git and for mercurial it's google code, maybe http://www.assembla.com/ as I haven't used mercurial repos that much.

Assembla is in Needham, Massachusetts, USA, so they would easily be pestered by the Goldmeadow Harrier known as WOTC. repo.or.cz looked good, though. actually, git in general.

I'm mirroring the SVN project into Git on my PC. Installed EGit without a hitch.

I'll see how the speed goes on uploading to repo.or.cz.

this started out as a question . . . how serious are you/we moving forward with this?

[Rob Cashwalker]

somewhat serious... we had been discussing the woes of SVN, especially google's implementation of it, and Git was mentioned along with mercurial. I couldn't install mercurial for eclipse, and Git installed easily.... Only reason for mercurial was google... but if the real project is the next target, I think we should be ready.

Also I stumbled upon http://gitorious.org/ based in Norway if repo.or.cz is too slow or limited.

I definitely vote for gitorious.org. The interface is easy to use and the site is fast. I uploaded cardforge in just a couple of minutes

git@gitorious.org:cardforge/cardforge.git

Feel free to clone it and try it out.

I'm having a real tough time getting this to work. I signed up there, created my own clone. I was able to pull it down into Eclipse, but I can't push my local commits to my clone.

What about just finding a foreign hosted SVN?

did you set up a public/private key pair? i think git requires that to change the repository.

[Rob Cashwalker]

yep... I followed a tutorial from EGit to configure for GitHub, but the basics should be the same...

You need to add your public key to gitorious and use the ssh protocol to push.
Also if this works then your next problem would be that your clone doesn't update to the main git repository latest commit. You would need to setup 2nd remote repository.
