Hi, Pagure seems to play several roles in the Fedora community, but it's a bit confusing. Perhaps somebody can respond (or write a Wiki article on the topic) to clear up some confusion.
For example, I hear/read the term "dist-git" a lot, but most of the conversation about that seems to focus on Pagure being used to host Fedora source repos. I don't really understand how these terms relate to each other. Another example: all the documentation for the transition away from Pkgdb seems to reference pagure.io. However, that doesn't appear to be where the things have moved to. Rather, things have moved to a different instance of Pagure hosted at src.fedoraproject.org. How are these two separate instances of Pagure related to one another, why are they separate, and what separate roles do they each serve for Fedora packagers and contributors? Are there any other instances of Pagure that are relevant to Fedora packagers? Are there any other roles that an existing instance of Pagure should be serving, but currently isn't? For example, I've noticed that src.fedoraproject.org has disabled issues on repos. However, I personally would love to use it as an issue tracker instead of Bugzilla. I understand that Bugzilla is more integrated with other services, but having issues enabled would be a nice option in the future, as moving issue trackers closer to the source is one of the best things that has come out of the various git hosting services. So far, I like Pagure. I also like similar git hosting services, such as GitLab and GitHub, but I don't think we're making the best use of it, if we're customizing separate deployments of it instead of providing a generic service and customizing the integrations to it. Perhaps somebody can help explain, with a summary of the choices which have been made and the reasons behind those choices, why (for better or worse) this is the direction Fedora is headed? Thanks, Christopher
