Alioth (Debian)

Alioth is a FusionForge system run by the Debian project for development of free software and free documentation, especially software or documentation to do with Debian.[1]

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]

History

Alioth was announced in March 2003.[3] Originally Alioth was to be hosted on the SourceForge code base; the Free Software version of GForge was chosen later as it avoided the need to duplicate effort spent on rebranding SourceForge.[4] Since 2009, Alioth runs a GForge descendant called FusionForge.

Alioth administrators include Raphaël Hertzog and Roland Mas.[5]
