We are working with git and now that is a big whish of you, the next thin we'll do is to get git.x2go.org working. Why don't you use github or *forge? It saves time and money and you have the same (and more) possibilities than with your own server. Apart from that, you'd have to setup a bug tracker, wiki and stuff like that as well - and run, administer, update and maintain it. I'd rather invest my time to get on with development instead of reinventing the wheel at this point. :)
We wan't to use our own server to be able to autobuild packages etc... but I will push a copy to github too. There is absolutely no need for this - for example, if you have a project page on Launchpad, their servers can autobuild .deb packages for you - for all kinds of architectures and ubuntu/debian versions. If you still want to build packages on your own server, just build them from the github/*forge repository.
Of course it is up to you - but keep in mind that it will cost you a lot more time (and money) to build and run an infrastructure that is as good or better than what all these *forge sites offer you for free. <snip> I second that idea. One can lose countless, priceless development hours learning, building, maintaining, and handling the inevitable catastrophes of one's own infrastructure - John
