Exactly this: NetBSD & OpenBSD. Linux, although popular, is not the only operating system.

This story is posted twice, on the front page of HN. They have only one OS available, Linux, (in various flavours), while the others are branded 'coming soon'. That alone doesn't inspire any confidence.

One thing to note when using HoundCI, the defaults have been configured to ThoughtBot's style, slightly straying away from the 'defaults' that RuboCop has.

This. So true! ...it almost always seems to come down to guesswork. Meanwhile, the vendor just exposes the WSDL and assumes that's sufficient "documentation" for clients and you don't need any example

Fair point. But one of the issues with Marmalade is that anybody can fork your project (patch it or not) and just push it. With MELPA, they try to get the original authors to submit the projects. If you've got patches, they are pretty

Are you sure that MELPA has issues? I've been running with it since it started and one thing that I can say about it is that its been a joy to use. Hats off to milkypostman & sanityinc for maintaining it. If you do have an issue, I
