Ignoring the core values and wasting money on outsourcing the problems
at the same time? Sounds like capitalism to me ;)
Joking aside, openSUSE will not be publicly deploying GitLab due to
many of our contributors disagreeing with the open core development
model, and we were hoping to use Pagure, since it does have the features
our contributors wanted to have in the forge. Also some of my excitement
for the forgefed is showing through. However reading through this thread
I do get the feeling that there is largely no interest in developing
Pagure, despite the fact it is pretty much the only forge with the
features that make it easy to replace GitHub with it (and even moreso
since Microsoft started getting GitHub to actually focus on similar
areas as Pagure has been for years). Disappointing.
Why is it disappointing? The Pagure project isn't suddenly being
removed from the internet. Is there a reason you can't contribute to
it to add the features you need?
The disappointing thing would be if everyone that was so interested in
using Pagure walked away from it because somebody else stopped doing
most of the work.
