SDL moves to Github
#SDL
And I grew up during the heyday of the Free Software Foundation, so I know this is a trap, but Iβm tired and donβt have the energy to be a server admin for something thatβs held together with scotch tape and prayers when Iβm really supposed to be writing OpenGL code.βhttps://nitter.nixnet.services/icculus/status/1359251060913807366

in reply to Paolo Redaelli • •ΒΉ yes, there is a free software version of gitlab, I know quite a few people that use it and it works, but it doesn't have the full set of features available on gitlab com.

in reply to Paolo Redaelli • • •A big project probably wants them and would have difficulty parting from them. That means gitlab.com is a bad place to get addicted to.
There are Gitlab CE hosts out there. The one I can think of off the cuff is framasoft's, but they're planning to shut it down at some point.
For my own code, I would (and do) host it at a Gitea host like @Codeberg.org .

in reply to Paolo Redaelli • •git itself is not a big deal: migrating it from one hosting to another is trivial, but what about issues, pull/merge requests and their comments and everything else? Can you get them out of the hosting service and migrate them elsewhere? are you forced to keep using the same platform if you do? (e.g. moving from gitlab com to self-hosted gitlab)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •For my main public project I'm currently trying sr.ht: I like it because it uses a mailing-list centric workflow with a web interface, and things like issues etc. are sent to my email address (so I always have a full copy of everything that I could publish at least as a readonly dump).
I would prefer it if it was packaged in debian, and then I could think about self-hosting a sourcehut instance myself, but that can wait.

in reply to Paolo Redaelli • • •I have full sympathy for "[we're burnt out from doing ops on our own machines]", selfcare and taking care of your own is important, but "[randos on the internet wanted us to do github]", which is how I interpret the answer, is pretty disappointing.
Maybe I'm missing information here, maybe the project has been bleeding contributors for a long time and the only way to get a big enough funnel to convert new contributors is to be on github. But on the surface of it, there seems to be no such analysis.
It's not my project, I've never contributed to SDL, but as the overall picture of how free software is doing, each further project that moves to github is a disappointment.

in reply to Mans R • • •https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/ is the only attempt at this that I'm aware of. It can even bridge to JIRA.
