Hi,
Ludo authored a blog post covering our transition to Codeberg:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2026/one-year-with-codeberg/
It's a big change, I wondered how we felt about it as a group?
- Has it worked, or not, for you as a developer?
- What's been better?
- What could be improved?
For me personally I think the Git repo and PRs have been a win: I spend less
time trying to figure out how to pull down a contribution.
The automation around CI/builds has been a loss. Thanks to everyone who worked
on the PR builder, that's great and it's really clear when you see that a PR
has been built. Branch co-ordination and the Info service is what I miss.
The other one is that Issues are a lot worse than Debbugs. For users generally
Issues are great and it's a lot more accessible. But, it doesnn't compare to a
proper bug tracker, with a real database and interaction (here I miss email) if
you're handling a lot of bugs. Of course, Debbugs looked awful, was difficult
to use and was pretty inaccessible/annoying - but it also had a lot of power
which "as a developer" we have lost.
