Does anyone know of a lightweight system for publishing/distributing free software? My requirements are basically a simple way to post/list/link summary, release information and docs for a bunch of software projects (task tracking integration might be good, but not necessary). GForge should work in theory, but it has a kajillion dependencies. Trying to apt-get it threatened to destroy my debian box. any suggestions?

Possible projects:

  • GForge – not very friendly to my box
  • LibreSource – a little heavy, not quite a good fit

If I put it on my to-write list. Requirements:

  • Each project should have it’s own summary page, short description and some fields (License, Language, Status, Categories)
  • Attaching notes
  • CVS integration – read releases, attach release notes

Hmm, this wouldn’t really take long to do if need be. It’s pretty generic too except for the CVS (and eventually issue tracking) integration. Eventually could be generalized. [xref w/ clearinghouse, kb]
