'''Google Code''' (AKA Project Hosting) is a software repository that is owned by [[Google]]. It hosts only open source software paired with an open source license.<ref>[https://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/FAQ#Hosting_Your_Open_Source_Project_on_Google_Code FAQ - support - Project Hosting on Google Code FAQ - User support for Google Project Hosting - Google Project Hosting]</ref><br />
<br />
Google Code allows people to commit their code into either a Subversion (SVN), Git or Mercurial repository. It has a downloads section for people to upload their software packages (with a quota limit of 4GB, can be increased upon request) and also a wiki for projects to document their work at. There is also an issue tracker to track bugs in the project's software.<br />
<br />
== Vital signs ==<br />
<br />
The site goes read-only on 24th August, 2015, followed by the closing on 25th January, 2016<ref>[http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/ncr/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html Bidding farewell to Google Code]</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Archiving ==<br />
Archiving source code repositories is rather easy (and incremental). Just clone the git/hg repository, or checkout SVN repo. For SVN, make sure that you checkout all branches, not just trunk.<br />
<br />
Archiving bugtrackers and the other stuff will be a bit harder.<br />
<br />
A tool to export a repository to GitHub is available<ref>[http://code.google.com/export-to-github Export to GitHub - Google Code]</ref>.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Deathwatch''' or '''Watchlist''' is a central indicator of websites and networks that are shutting down and serves as an indicator of what happened to particular sites that shut down quickly.<br />
<br />
New sites should be added in chronological order, newest death date first. Forward-looking death dates should be added to the first list only. Sites large enough to warrant additional information will receive a dedicated page, linked from here and on [[:Category:Closing projects]].<br />

* Archive Team officially proclaims '''[[Yahoo!]]''' the least trustable host and its arch-enemy. Prove us different, Yahooligans. Or... don't. Expect anything in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Yahoo! this list] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Yahoo!-owned_sites_and_services this list] to shutdown (if it already hasn't).<br />
**Please follow the feeds! [https://twitter.com/YahooVictims] [http://www.google.com/alerts/feeds/03733117766037168292/11115209096644139952]<br />
<br />
* [[Nokia]] has recently been shutting down services at an alarmingly fast rate. Back up your data, Nokia users!<br />
<br />
* [[AOL]] has decided to follow in Yahoo's footsteps by mass-closing websites at an alarmingly fast rate. Be careful not to leave any important data with them!<br />
<br />
=== Just When You Least Expect It ===<br />
<br />
Archive Team keeps a list of '''[[Fire_Drill|"healthy sites"]]''' that could be fine today and not so hot tomorrow. We focus on ways to back your personal data off these sites so you don't put yourself at unnecessary risk.<br />
<br />
=== Other endangered species and misc ideas ===<br />
<br />
We have even more small tidbits of information at [[Deathwatch/Misc]].<br />
<br />
== Pining for the Fjords (Dying) ==<br />
<br />
Websites (notable or ones with user-generated content) that are definitively shutting down. No speculation please! Sites that appear troubled should go on [[Fire Drill]].<br />

'''Google Code''' (AKA Project Hosting) is a software repository that is owned by [[Google]]. It hosts only open source software paired with an open source license.<ref>[https://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/FAQ#Hosting_Your_Open_Source_Project_on_Google_Code FAQ - support - Project Hosting on Google Code FAQ - User support for Google Project Hosting - Google Project Hosting]</ref><br />
<br />
Google Code allows people to commit their code into either a Subversion (SVN), Git or Mercurial repository. It has a downloads section for people to upload their software packages (with a quota limit of 4GB, can be increased upon request) and also a wiki for projects to document their work at. There is also an issue tracker to track bugs in the project's software.<br />

<br />
== Archiving ==<br />
By definition of a repository, archiving copies of the source code is rather easy (and incremental). Just clone the git/hg repository, or checkout SVN repo. For SVN, make sure that you checkout all branches, nut just trunk.<br />
<br />
Archiving bugtrackerss and the other stuff is a bit harder<br />
<br />
A tool to export a repository to GitHub is available<ref>[http://code.google.com/export-to-github Export to GitHub - Google Code]</ref>.<br />
