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?
That scenario assumes a certain result and decision from the requirements analysis so I genuinely have no answer here. Whatever choice we make, an impact analysis would be needed in some shape or form. That (and our next steps) will be done collaboratively in the open.
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?
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?
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 ...
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)
