[Liverpool] Diaspora

I'm not talking about it being open source, of course it is,  but the fact 
that they do not provide source in versioned bundles, you need to synchronise 
your server using git, first checking that the code you're pulling will 
actually build properly. Fine if your server is a toy, but that's not 
acceptable to people who take their public servers seriously and don't want to 
update their old working server into a newer broken one.
