Which distribution website should I pick for my open-source package?
- by Frank
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)
