“Software Forge” doesn’t readily describe its purpose to me.
It says on their main page… it’s basically self hosted GitHub.
The community has been taken over by a bunch of weirdos that refuse to click things and read
I’ll admit I didn’t click or read. But am I incorrect to expect some information on what I will assume is the landing page in the image?
“Long term support” is 15 months?
Is this a fucking joke?
Codeberg is run off of donations, they have no service contract revenue. Nobody, much less a volunteer, wants to commit to a 5 or 10 year service plan like that, it’s not sustainable for a small project from a non profit.
I’m working with an OS with a 26-year support window.
LTS is 10 years. Support the one that RH/Rocky toss into the next release. Anything less than 8 years requires air-quotes around the ‘L’.
Is there a time line for full Federation?
Best I can do is half Federation… 2/3 if you pay in cash.
Is this when they break drop-in compatibility with Gitea?
That would mean they would have to do actual development instead of just scraping off stickers, so I’m not holding my breath.
Is there some drama I’m not aware of here?
Forgejo is a reactionary fork of Gitea, started because the creator of Gitea founded a company to maintain it.
Secretly behind the backs of the official community council and not many months later started to turn Gitea into an open-core product.
And they also demand a CLA from contributors now, which is directly against the idea of FOSS.
I was a bit sceptical about the justification of this fork in the beginning as well, but time has proven the Forgejo team to be sadly completely right.
a decision was made in early 2024 to become a hard fork
They can decide and announce all they want. In the end they have to become a more compelling product than gitea on the merits, not just because of nebulous anti-commercial ideology.
