Dear packagers for openSUSE Tumbleweed,
we have been working on a prototype that allows you to maintain your packages in git (similarly to Fedora's dist git) on src.opensuse.org instead of on OBS. Contributions to the package are then handled via pull requests on src.opensuse.org which get automatically forwarded as submitrequests on OBS.
Awesome. I really like the idea!
Thanks :-)
Looking forward to your feedback!
My initial feedback would be, why Gitea was chosen? I am just curious, though. There was some dispute about it after Gitea Limited was founded back in late 2022 and the paid service they offered. See [0] and [1] for more information. What about code.opensuse.org (Pagure), couldn`t that be used as well instead of src.opensuse.org?
I must confess that I do not have all the details, but as far as I remember, the selected git forge must fulfill the following criteria:
- open source (disqualifies Github) - auditable (disqualifies Gitlab due to its sheer size) - maintained (sadly disqualifies pagure, it's been unmaintained since Pingou was pulled of that project a few years back)
and thus we ended up with gitea.
Pagure is maintained. We have new contributions coming in and work going on to make Pagure 6.0. There's going to be a talk at Flock about it. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
