What is the status of GitTorrent project from GSoC 2008?
It is I think the only project which doesn't have link to
repository (to gitweb) at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2008Projects

BTW. public repository doesn't have to be on repo.or.cz
(although I guess it would be nice to have mirror there).
It can be self hosted; there is gitorious, github and
other git hosting sites...

Hi Jakub,

The gitweb is at
http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=VCS-Git-Torrent, and the public repository
is at git://utsl.gen.nz/VCS-Git-Torrent

I'll be giving a public update around mid-term time
(http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline),
unless there is something of widespread interest before then.

If you'd like to contribute in discussion or code, please feel free to
write to the list: http://lists.utsl.gen.nz/mailman/listinfo.cgi/gittorrent

Thanks for the interest!
Sam.

I have added linkt to GitTorrent Protocol RFC and to mailing list
(as it doesn't use git mailing list) to SoC2008Projects wiki page.


By the way, can I subscribe GMane (mail<->news interface) to gittorrent
mailing list, to make available to read (and post to) gittorrent list
from news reader (NNTP interface) at http://gmane.org/subscribe.php ?

Er, sure.  Let me know if you find anything doesn't work properly.

I have just received confirmation that GMane sent subscription message:
