Moving away from gitlab.com
Posted: 13 Jun 2022, 01:17
Hello,
on behalf of Development Team, I inform that we are moving away from gitlab.com.
GitLab has passed a new hostile governance such as limiting amount of contributors and demanding a rather long bureaucracy, which could also compromise part of our infrastructure, leading to the decision to move away from their SaaS. (This is not the only factor, their team has taken several decisions which puts their trustworthiness at stake, such as requiring credit card to use CI for forks, their login page which is now harder to access, several other policies changes which had rather heated discussions and more).
The folks at Adélie Linux have offered to host an instance. Currently, Moubootaur Legends, Evolved, and most of our infra has migrated; And in the next couple weeks, Legacy and rEvolt will move as well.
We're only moving away from GitLab SaaS (aka. gitlab.com), the core technology remains as GitLab Community Edition. The CE edition is open-source and does not suffer as badly from their governance, compared to SaaS.
You can browse in git.themanaworld.org or use the JavaScript-free version at cgit.themanaworld.org.
Pulls from GitLab will still work at least until July 1st (when GitLab shuts down automatic pull as well), pushes will only be done on the new addresses. You are not required to update your remotes unless you are a developer, however, it is strongly advised to do so.
In case of questions, feel free to ask us on IRC, Discord, Matrix, or here on the thread.
Thanks for the comprehension.
