I'm starting to think that people should mirror their packages to BitBucket as a rule, and that package managers should round robin/flip a coin between the two, or use whichever is available in case of outages.
- rch 11y agoI'd rather have something like Netflix's Open Connect Appliances, covering all of Github, sitting in each office and a centrally located colo facility.
- Zikes 11y agoI'm not familiar with Open Connect Appliances, but Github as a platform is still a Single Point of Failure at least on some level. Domain or SSL issues, for example. I think that as long as we have options to host packages on other platforms in addition, it should be seriously considered. At the very least, it would encourage a more competitive atmosphere for open source hosting services.
