I wrote an open-source software package, which I'd like to publish (using Apache 2 license). I see various options for how/where to publish/host it:
- Get my own domain and put it there
- Put it on Sourceforge
- Put it on Google Code
- Put it on Freshmeat
- ...?
What are your experiences / recommendations? What's the current trend among software developers?
My only requirements are that I ...
- can add my own logo on the website
- can put up some documentation there,
- get a nice URL that is easy to remember
- get SVN support (I would also be fine with just uploading a tarball for each new version, it just shouldn't force me to use CVS or any other version control system I'm not familiar with)
- and of course, the site shouldn't take ownership in the code etc.
- oh, and it should be free (ok, for registering my own domain I'll be willing to pay a little bit)
