All PMC projects removed from git-hub

Post by Snake Man »

Just moments ago finished All PMC projects removed from git-hub project that I've had planned for uh oh actually years now. It was years ago when evil microsoft corporation bought git-hub company, at that time I already wrote a todo task for myself to migrate all PMC code repositories away from git-hub, then relatively speaking recently microsoft started to train "Copilot" artificial intelligence (AI) on repositories there, this was pretty much the last nail in the coffin, I need to get out.

It took me all this time but finally today I got my stuff together and painstakingly deleted all 118 PMC git-hub repositories and then removed all links referring to those repos from websites including PMC Editing Wiki and PMC Tactical Forum.

My original plan was to migrate PMC coding/missions/websites etc repositories to gitlab, but that feels now like why exchange one company to another, what guarantees do we have that gitlab wont be bought by some big evil company in the future. So decided not to migrate my repos there.

Now my plan is to provide PMC source code of various sorts available to the community at large, I just haven't decided in what format. Most likely its going to be just 7-zip archives in a torrent, OR... maybe, just maybe... I'll configure some git repository software in my own virtual private server (VPS) where PMC websites are hosted, this way it would be under my control and NO company, big or small, would be going to buy it. Only nagging thing is that I really hate bloated php script software, I would very much like to stay on some super light weight software solutions and I have no idea if such exist for git repositories. So overall, I think its just easiest to put that 7-zip archive out in a torrent download. Will have to see.

Feel free to ask when the stuff is going to be available because if nobody is asking, then most likely I'll be a lazy bugger and this todo task gets buried under other todo tasks :P

I do however plan on expediting getting ArmA 3 terrain builder templatelibs and terrain processor TPP project files available as those are used in PMC terrain editing tutorials, so they are kind of essential. Please remind me if they are not showing up soon.
