[solved] Spare some space?

Xyne · 2008-10-30 00:51:23

Since installing Arch this summer, I've written a few scripts/apps that I've posted here on the forum in various places and a few that I've even put in the AUR (with powerpill being the one I think most people appreciate). I'm now at a point where I'd like to create a small public repo for my own growing number of packages to make them more accessible to the rest of the community. I'd also like to put up a few pages with information such as faqs for the more popular scripts/apps (and have it centralized... finding and editing threads is a bit annoying).

Until now, I've been using a directory on a non-Arch-related site to host the source files for my PKGBUILDs. The site itself isn't mine and although I have some liberty in what I put on it, I feel it would be abusing the hospitality of the host to expand on what I already have there. That's why I'd like to know if anyone would like to help me contribute by providing me a bit of space on some (preferably Arch-related) site. Considering the size of the scripts that I would upload (powerpill, by far the largest, is only 44k as a script and 16k as a pkg tarball), I wouldn't need much space. Bandwidth would be directly proportional to the popularity of the repo and whatever else I have there. Naturally, I wouldn't use the site for anything unrelated to Arch.

If you have some space to spare, send me an email so we can talk about the details.

note to mods: I thought this was the best place to post this. Sorry if it wasn't.

You could always make a googlecode page (e.g. http://code.google.com/p/archlinux-stuff/ which I think is Sergej's)

Thanks for the suggestion, Allan, but I try to avoid Google as much as possible. I'll look into it though if nothing better comes along.

I like github for code hosting, but as for compiled package files, I'm not really sure what would be good..

iphitus · 2008-10-30 07:55:48

Some of the various international Arch communities might be able to offer something if you're in their part of the world.

Daenyth: thanks for the github mention, I might use that for some of my own projects

or repo.or.cz (also git hosting, there was another one on the git homepage)

Hi-

If you don't mind writing up your own index, I don't mind giving you a subdomain and ftp/shell account. 411gb limit. It'll be a subdomain like ___.alrig.ht, I.E, my personal one is http://its.alrig.ht/

E-mail me at Lifes@Alrig.ht with what you want your subdomain to be called and I'll set it up for you. Unless this isn't what you were looking for :]

Cheers.

Or for really cheap... you could try these guys. Pay as you go/prepaid, rather than monthly fees.

I signed up recently and giving them a go. So far no problems. Only paid $5 and I'm expecting it'll last me months.

offered some spare space, not heard anything yet

Xyne · 2008-11-03 12:24:28

Thanks for all the offers.

Someone was able to offer me a subdomain on one of the archlinux.xyz sites (not sure if he wants to be publicly credited), which I've gratefully accepted.

Barrucadu · 2008-11-03 12:27:06

Since there are a few people who are willing to offer space for projects, would it possibly be a good idea to start thread with contact details in?

Xyne · 2008-11-03 12:52:24

Maybe the other way around would be a good idea... let people who have ideas for projects post them in a thread and let others contact them. I think offers of space will depend on who's asking and some people will be reluctant to post that they have space because they don't want to have to turn people down.

I've been watching this thread and agree that yes, that's a very good idea.
