Alioth was the name of a machine running FusionForge. Debian replaced it with "Salsa" that's running GitLab. The benchmarks game is hosted in this repository: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame

But (without intending to spread unsubstantiated rumor) it seems like it's temporarily unmaintained at the moment:

- in the README.md there is some complaint about being difficult to reboot into a Linux dual-boot, maybe the measurements+website were being published manually

- CI yml seems incomplete

- Some very strange issues like https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/...

That issue appears to be someone who was upset with the methodology of the benchmarks and the delay in accepting his/her programs so they resorted to repeatedly changing the title of one their issues.

So don't :-)

That's likely to be a problem soon after 1st September.

In what way? "This GitLab CI configuration is valid."

> Some very strange issues like…

What else specifically?

This is really ghetto. Why does Debian allow it on their domain?
You just described most subsites under the Debian domain.
