Alioth (Debian)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alioth is a GForge system set up in 2003[1] by the Debian project for development of free software and free documentation, especially software or documentation to do with Debian.

Most of the projects hosted by Alioth are packaging existing software in the Debian format. However there are some notable non-Debian projects hosted, like SANE project.[2]

Alioth was originally to be hosted on the SourceForge code base; GForge was chosen later as it avoided the need to duplicate effort spent on rebranding SourceForge.[3]

Alioth administrators include Raphaël Hertzog and Roland Mas.[4]
