Hello!
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-heritage
Very roughly it’s a big source code archive. What this means for us is
that we’ll hopefully be able to use it as a content-addressed mirror¹.
Unfortunately, it’s 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…), 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.
Ludo’.
