Yes, this makes me also a bit apprehensive about the long-term perspective of their service. What if they decide some day that providing public git repo hosting is no longer part of their core business ? I see much less risk with GitHub in this regard. > Another solution is to host Gitlab yourselves. Heh, I'm trying to host as little as possible :) In the Qi-Hw universe, we also have http://projects.qi-hardware.com/ which is based on Indefero. I moved Anelok to gitorious because the Qi-Hw server was extremely unreliable for a while. Wolfgang has fixed this since, but it may still be a good idea to avoid putting all our eggs in one basket, since the economical basis for the Qi-Hw servers has shifted from Sharism's business to Wolfgang's disposable income. (Okay, at the end of the day that's basically the same :) Another reason was to keep the repo on relatively neutral ground (NO/PL). GitLab (NL) would trump GitHub (US) in this regard. Right now, Anelok uses the following resources: Service Provider ------------------------------- ---------------------------- git repos Gitorious Wiki Gitorious Mailing list & archive Qi-Hw IRC Freenode IRC archive Qi-Hw / whitequark Web space (data dump) Qi-Hw (downloads) Web space (customizable) my server I currently use my server only for things that need "nice" URLs, like http://anelok.com and I run the most basic of all Web servers (awhttpd v3). For the git repos, the following "value-added" features are of interest: Service Web browsing Merge requests IRC notifications --------- ------------ -------------- ----------------- Qi-Hw y - y Gitorious y y - GitHub y y - GitLab y ? ? I kinda miss the push notifications on #qi-hardware. Merge request handling is nice and I find the workflow in GitHub clearer than in Gitorious. For Web browsing, Gitorious' insistence of including the hash everywhere is a bit irritating, even though technically more correct. GitHub, GitLab, and Indefero all let me have a link to just the file, without requiring manual editing. > It's very good software > and every month on the 22nd like a clock, they deliver an upgrade with > bugfixes and new functionality. The possibility to just install the service on our own machines if things turn sour could certainly be a nice option. For now, my universal "plan B" is simply not to depend overly on non-ubiquitous features some service provides, so that migrating elsewhere is easy. > https://kallithea-scm.org/ is written in Python. Ah nice, less to learn :) But it looks rather niche-ish and seems to have only a tiny number of repos on their repo hosting service. > I guess ikiwiki can be used instead, if > you choose to work with gitbull. Heh, now you lost me :-) All I get when googing for gitbull are a WordPress example page and some bizarre Twitter account :) - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
