I must stand up very loudly and also agree that any of the big git repo sites are a horror show to use. The word "excruciating" is correct. Even a trivial patch fetch can take a pile of steps just to find whatever I need. I understand that they are popular and force fed upon many people by their employers but I refuse to accept they are any better than a trivial mail list for a project such as this. If someone shows up with a spare million dollars then maybe it is worth consideration. Even then I would still find github and gitlap to be terrible. At least you can drive a Porsche home right? If tazers are dragged out for a duel at dawn then consider a very light site such as https://sourcehut.org/ where there is NO JavaScript at all. -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken GreyBeard and suspenders optional
