Does that mean that a whole bunch of unmaintained projects are vanishing into limbo?

- aninteger 15y agoProbably. Sounds like a job for Jason Scott and the Archive Team.
- coderdude 15y agoIt's on their deathwatch: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Deathwatch http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Deathwatch Hopefully they have a chance to mirror it all.
- mhd 15y agoHTML mirror maybe, CVS/SVN mirror not very likely…
- aw3c2 15y agoOn the contrary, berlios is so nice to provide dumps of the code control systems.
- fhars 15y agoBe careful, any code you download from there might be trojaned: http://lwn.net/Articles/369633/ http://lwn.net/Articles/369633/ If I recall last years events correctly, they (i.e. Jörg Schilling) were not very open in their resonse, some mails from the time describe their information policy as "stonewalling", http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/cdrecord-support/2010-January/000502.html http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/cdrecord-support/2010-Janu...
- _ak 15y agoYou say that as if it were a bad thing.
- mhd 15y agoCall me Cassandra, but I bet in 2013, while sitting in front of a Linux box I'll wonder whether there isn't an utility that does all that I need from GnomeFooBarBarella without 2.7 gigs of dependencies, and then the link to it goes to berlios…
- profquail 15y agoWell, it might be cheaper to create a read-only mirror of all of the projects on BerliOS and host it for free for a while than to have to re-create some obscure bit of software you need for an old system (or to recover data from an old disk, etc.)
