Fyodor, Have you considered a move to Github? I moved away from Source Forge years ago when they started doing all of this .. this may have been discussed before, so my apologies if I missed the discussion. Github is so much more accessible for developers and contributors and easy to do releases from than Source Forge - the issue tracking is straight forward and captures lots of user context with comments and responses - and the pull request process is awesome for swarm code reviews. Are there philosophical reasons that cause you to want to keep nmap on Source Forge? - Max On Fri, Jul 3, 2015 at 10:39 AM Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) - lists < lists () infosecurity ch> wrote:

We need to judge them on their actions, and those don't speak well of the current management. You'd think that, after all this negative attention, they'd be on their best behavior, right? And that they'd be following their promise[1] to eliminate fake download buttons?I don't like non-constructive criticism, especially when we need to judge on "actions" like you suggest. Have you reported what do you describe by sending them an email to blockthis () sourceforge net as indicated in the link you referred at [1] ? It's easy to say "streets are plenty of holes" but then don't report "that hole" to the municipality trough their reporting procedure to get it fixed. You may have a bias that SF is bad-behaving and i may have a bias that SF is good-behaving. But the facts are that for each single of the claims/issues being reported there's a pragmatic reaction considering community needs.-Fyodor [1] https://sourceforge.net/blog/?s=blockthisFabio _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
