I have the—perhaps incorrect—impression that the Gentoo project depends on a lot of custom (an sometimes legacy) software, and is suffering from decisions made decades ago...
Well, that and the fact that some components of it are incredibly complex (sob Portage <3 sob).
But maybe I'm missing the point here... -c-
@me, maybe. But then, so far every "established and externally managed" solution turned to complete utter shit (cf. GitHub).
Technically, there are alternatives like #Forgejo or #sourcehut, which tend to have most of GitH*b's features, but without the enshittification.
No idea if it'd be worthwhile to use them for Gentoo, though.
I've only used both for personal stuff, with the exception of hosting Forgejo for my group of friends.
I haven't been involved with Gentoo's infrastructure enough to tell :p
@me, sure, but there is always risk. If it's not enshittification, there's the risk of them going out of service, suffering DDoS or alike. But then, we are running our own risks too…
@whynothugo @me, we don't want to waste a non-profit's resources on our CI when we have the hardware at hand. Also, zero time to actually learn and set up a new CI. Also, it is very important for us that it's lightning fast.
we don't want to waste a non-profit's resources [...]Agreed. Both services I mentioned are designed to be self-hosted, which would be expected from any large project.
Furthermore, according to https://sourcehut.org/pricing/
All users who host projects on sr.ht are expected to pay according to their means [...]and
SourceHut is 100% open source. If you have your own infrastructure, you can run it yourself. Head over to installation docs to get started.CC: @whynothugo@fosstodon.org
@whynothugo, I was specifically thinking of Codeberg — but the general idea assumed we'd be running it on third-party hardware and not on our own.
