Right. Also is this the first project to choose tarballs over github because of terrorism concerns?
And if the concern is that real have they considered the distributed nature of git might actually make it better suited?
- LukeShu 10y agoThey don't "choose tarballs over github". They choose darcs over git. Both are distributed. The terrorism line (at https://patoline.org/about.html https://patoline.org/about.html) isn't taking a shot at git, it's taking a shot at GitHub, which is centralized in spite of git's underlying distributed nature. And this is far from the first project to choose a free/open distributed system over a proprietary centralized one.
