Hi Rich:
I just can't get access to http://git.annexia.org/ since this week.
Is there something wrong?
Thanks

Yes, server died, and at the same time I'm about 500 miles away.
I'll fix it this weekend.
There is a backup of most important repositories including libguestfs
at http://fedorapeople.org/git .

Could I take this opportunity to suggest alternative hosting
arrangements? There are many potential hosting solutions available to us
with round the clock support.

First of all, http://git.annexia.org/ should be back up now. The
problem was 'pilot error' -- I accidentally removed libvirt from that
server, which generally broke things.
Secondly, starting in January I hope we can agree on some changes to
the libguestfs development and hosting arrangement, to bring it more
in line with how libvirt is developed, and to resolve some other
issues.
In brief:
- Host the main git repo on a public git site (such as github - TBD).
- Allow more people to commit directly to the repository.
- Have some sort of agreement on patch review, number of ACKs (TBD).
- Use gerrit for patch review?
- We'll move libguestfs.org to a new host which will allow other
people to upload things; I know hillu wants to host some Debian
packages, and unfortunately this is not possible with the current
hosting arrangement.
We can't do any of the above until the beginning of January, so this
email isn't to open a discussion. Let's have that in the new year.

Yes it is.
I don't have any special preferences about this.
For github it looks like someone has to pay:
https://github.com/plans
I suspect, though I didn't ask, that Red Hat won't be willing to pay
for this, because Red Hat indirectly supports Fedora's git hosting
(http://git.fedorahosted.org/) which is rubbish compared to github,
but free.
I was always reluctant to use fedorahosted since it implies that
libguestfs is somehow tied to Fedora, which it isn't (in fact quite
the opposite: some Fedora members have been actively hostile to
libguestfs). Perhaps this is not a concern -- after all, we use
plenty of projects that are hosted on LaunchPad.
Another possibility is OpenShift (https://openshift.redhat.com).

I use gitorious.org for most of my personal project hosting these days,
as well as automatically mirroring all libvirt GIT repos for backup.
It does not aim to provide a complete hosting solution though. It is
just focused on providing GIT repos, permissioning for those, and a
minimal wiki.

You could possibly use this in conjunction with gitorious, to provide
the general website/download hosting.

I wasn't a huge fan of gitorious after using it for vhostmd.
It's fine, but not a lot more than just a git repo.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.

Some other facts that are relevant to this:
(1) Amount of space currently required to store the git repo: 306 MB
(2) Amount of space currently required to store website: 1.4 GB
Bandwidth is probably not a concern, but it's still surely several
gigabytes a month.
Obviously you should double or triple those figures to give headroom
for growth.

I thought public repos are for free and you only have to pay if you
want private repos?
