The Software Heritage project has just been publicly announced: https://www.softwareheritage.org/ https://www.inria.fr/en/news/news-from-inria/launching-of-software-herita= ge Very roughly it=E2=80=99s a big source code archive. What this means for u= s is that we=E2=80=99ll hopefully be able to use it as a content-addressed mirro= r=C2=B9. Unfortunately, it=E2=80=99s not yet possible to download from the archive; I guess it will be coming soon. Anyway, in light of the various problems with disappearing and/or compromised commercial software hosting sites (Gitorious=E2=80=A6), as well= as problems with sites that do not preserve old archives and/or modify them in place, just to name a few, I think this is a great initiative.
