Hey Everyone,

On behalf of the CPE team I want to draw the communities attention to a recent blog post which you may be impacted by:
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/git-forge-requirements/

We will be seeking input and requirements in an open and transparent manner on the future of a git forge solution which will be run by the CPE team on behalf of the Fedora Community. This mail is being sent to the devel, mindshare and council-discuss lists for maximum visibility on a BCC to allow each list have their own views. Please forward it to any other list you may feel is relevant to maximise the exposure.

Thanks in advance,
Leigh

Alright, I have some questions that are not answered by the blog post.

- What is going to happen to the two pagure instances at pagure.io,
and src.fedoraproject.org?

I think pagure.io is a good home for fedora-related projects (it was
the successor to fedorahosted.org, after all, IIRC). I know that many
group efforts are hosting their source code, ticketing system, etc.
there (Go SIG, Stewardship SIG, FPC, FESCo, etc.). If it is decided to
shut down pagure.io, I assume those projects will have to be moved
somewhere?

Also, it's very nice to have a PR-based workflow for some
shared-maintenance packages on src.fedoraproject.org, and I don't
think losing that feature would be a good thing for fedora.

- How is GitHub considered to be an alternative here?

+1 …and to my knowledge GitHub is closed source.

I don't think (public or hosted) GitHub can do what is currently done
on src.fedoraproject.org, can it?
I'd also not want to see fedora use a closed-source product for such a
core service ...

- Which features are missing from pagure, compared to the other forges?

+1 It’s not clear reading the original POST

For my purposes, I don't miss any feature on pagure.io compared to my
repositories on github.com, and OTTOMH, I can't come up with any
missing features, at all …

+1

TL;DR:
Can we please keep pagure? It already has the fedora-specific features
we need, and I don't mind a "slow" pace of development.
In my experience, it works really well, and I actually *like* to use
it (which is not true for GitLab ... which is slow and horrible)

I totally agree with Fabio, I can’t think of a single reason we should dismiss pagure.

Ciao

Guido
