Is there a reliable (and free) hosting service for arch?

there is: every hoster that allows you to upload via webdav or sftp or
ftp (and read-only access via http or ftp or sftp) and doesn't mangle
data (eg. geocities) is suitable.

gna.org (savannah.gnu.org spin-off) works fine for one of my projects,
sourceforge should be ok, too (simply their website stuff),
individuals can use the webspace of their ISP (I know someone working
with arch, hosting his work on free.fr)



there's also monotone (http://www.venge.net/monotone) but it doesn't
support dumb storage (like arch) and it's also written using pretty
modern c++, which might be just too new for a beos environment (at
least for now)

svn is lacking the feature that anybody can branch off the official
tree and work with all tools and full history, making it harder to
contribute if you're not a first class citizen in the project already
(ie. commit rights on the repository) - also relevant for vendors that
don't want (or aren't allowed by contract) to expose (parts of) their
changes.
