[kwlug-disc] Best DIY git service options

[B.S.]

Am I missing something here?

I interpreted Lori's message as being:

- I intend to apt-get {blah} on my own private (perhaps hosted) server, where {blah} has similar features to gitolite.

- What is your favourite {blah}?

Not "What is your favourite public gitolite like hosting provider?'

Or have I misread / misunderstood Andrew's message?
