Phoronix: GNOME Plans Switch To GitLab For Development Infrastructure

As a replacement to BugZilla and Cgit, GNOME developers are planning on a GitLab deployment for improving their development infrastructure...

Nifty. I've deployed GitLab CE at my work, and it seems pretty alright. Hope it works out for them.

My understanding was that KDE switched to phabricator because gitlab CE lacked ldap support, among other issues. How are the requirements different for Gnome?

Just read the Wiki page.

I'm sure GitLab supports LDAP for a long time. I use it in my company since version 7.x and I know for sure it has LDAP and even integration with OAuth APIs (OpenID, Facebook, Google, Twitter, ... etc). It also supports Two-factor authentication.

The biggest features of GitLab though, are the one on the side of CI/CD integration. I don't know about Phabricator but I heard that folks @ Fedora are working on their own CI/CD integration on Pagure.

As long as they host the code on their own servers, I'm fine with that. They should never give up sovereignty over the hosting though (as many others do, and that's a pity).

Something like Mesa can benefit from better code repository too. And Debian bug tracker should already come out from the stone age.

Gitlab CE has decent LDAP user support, but doesn't support LDAP groups. You can setup groups in Gitlab, but you need to manually put the members into those. I think this is also possible via Gitlab API, but have never put research into that matter. We're using gitlab at work to host our projects. Aside from needing to adopt to the gui every month, it will never be same as before an update, things work relatively well.

And let's be fair: Everything is more awesome than cgit....

For a simple view into the git repository, nothing is better than cgit.
For the rest, there is the git command line...

cgit is nearly unusable, nobody should be using it.
