GNOME Plans Switch To GitLab For Development Infrastructure

[M@yeulC]

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

Yes, true, but I also like pretty revision graphs like on GitHub (I think GitLab lacks them). I don't like gitk much, git log --decorate --oneline --graph does the job, but not really for teaching or having an overview of the repo organisation or workflow. Support for displaying forks is nice as well.
And gitlab/github/phabricator are much more than git hosting services

Also, on the self-hosted side; a project I really like is gogs, it is pretty lightweight and easily deployable, nice to toy around with! Maybe not the best for a big organisation, but it definitely does the job on a personal box

As an alternative, the gitea fork of gogs seems pretty good too

Another alternative is Gitea, a gogs for. And for FreeBSD users, it's in the ports tree unlike gogs.

My current favorite on-premises Git server is GitBucket, it's freakin' awesome and it has monthly releases. Best GitHub replacement out there imo.

I hope it happens, but this is a proposal being discussed; nothing has been decided.

Weird sentiments regarding pagure as that seems to be the project hosting software of choice for fedora. There's also been recent talk about increasing its scope of use further with Fedora, but it's very early days.

Really wanted to see this happen for KDE instead of cgit(I don't know if phabricator was widely used at the time and it didn't look as nice/friendly as GitLab). KDE devs were rather against it

Glad at least Gnome is making the move to something that'll encourage more contributions.

Maybe we're under-provisioning our hardware, but our Gitlab server GUI is often painfully slow. Command line git is as fast as ever, but if you want to look at a large commit you're going to be waiting for thirty seconds or more.

We thought about jumping to gogs or gitea, but haven't taken the time to do a feature comparison.

30 seconds sounds about what we're getting at my place of employment. Though we're most definitely under-provisioning.
That server is starving for memory, vCPUs and faster SAS drives and/or SSDs (somehow someone thought 10k SAS were good enough for everyone. Which is pathetic. My 7 year old rack server at home has better drives).

Great. The reference desktop already offer the best user experience, soon the best developer experience.

nice b8, m8. I r8 8/8.

Not sure it's objectively the best developer experience, TBH. It works great for on-premise solutions, but for the wider world of FOSS Github and Travis CI feel more at home.
