# Source Code Archival

Haiku's source code represents hundreds of thousands of hours of work by individuals across the globe.
To protect their investment, Haiku reguraly ensures multiple copies of these critical source code
repositories exist in multiple locations at all times.

## Hot Repositories

> These are source code repositories which represent the latest source code of Haiku
* Haiku's core infrastructure
* Contains the absolute latest source code of [haiku](https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/) and [buildtools](https://git.haiku-os.org/buildtools/).
* Servers physically located in Amsterdam
* Github
* Home of support codebases such as [haikuports](https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports), [haikuporter](https://github.com/haikuports/haikuporter), [Haiku's infrastructure](https://github.com/haiku/infrastructure), and other tools.

## Warm Repositories

* Github
* Receives hourly replications of Haiku's [source code](https://github.com/haiku/haiku) and [buildtools](https://github.com/haiku/buildtools).

## Cold Repositories

> These are source code repositories which receive occasional updates, and are generally more complex to restore.
* [Software Heritage Archive](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fhaiku%2F)
* This group accepts requests to periodically archive git repositories for long-term archival.
* [Github Artic Vault](https://archiveprogram.github.com/)
* In 2019, Github began a yearly program to archive public repositories in an Artic Vault on [piql](https://www.piql.com) film.
* Haiku's code was included as part of this archival and was first deposited in mid-2020.
