HardenedBSD has finished migrating its core repositories to Radicle, a peer‑to‑peer code hosting platform. The move promises tighter control over source trees and eliminates reliance on third‑party hosts.
The transition required configuring Radicle to accommodate large repositories. Users must edit ~/.radicle/config.json and set node.limits.fetchPackReceive to at least 3GB. The new setup supports pulling source files through radicle-httpd, mirroring the previous USE_GITHUB/USE_GITLAB workflow.
All major trees—src, ports, and pkg—are now reachable at https://radicle.network/nodes/rad.hardenedbsd.org. Developers can seed and clone with commands like "rad seed --from" and "rad clone". HardenedBSD plans to complete migration of remaining repos, making Radicle the sole hosting platform for its codebase.
