I cannot update my pkgsrc-wip sources again.


There is a nice summary of source hosting sites:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_source_code_hosting_faciliti
es

I think that the only rational long-term hosting site is at GitHub with
over 10M users and 24M repositories. The others are closing one after
another, even Google-code switched to it!

OpenBSD-wip already there https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip

Unfortunately, I don't see a reliable alternative for CVS hosting,
except self hosting.
