@jbauer hello, Jake. This post is really really interesting https://www.paritybit.ca/blog/switching-to-cgit thanks @alcinnz for bringing it up to me. One sentence caught my attention, "...and I dislike the pull request development model anyways", very nice to hear. What is other development model do you prefer, Jake? I'm sorry in advance I am not a programmer but I am curious. However, about CGit itself, now I know more why big project like Kernel.org uses it instead of bigger one like GitLab. Thanks, Jake!

@ademalsasa @dibi58 @jbauer @alcinnz should probably note that the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager, e.g. GPU subsystem in the Linux kernel, not Digital Rights Management) is actually looking into using gitlab as a primary means of accepting contributions and wants to push kernel.org to do the same ;)

@Lyude This is kind of disappointing to me. GitLab is not a fully free software solution. Even if they decided to go with the PR workflow, I think it would have been better to use something like Gitea instead.Debian currently also uses GitLab, but they worked with the GitLab folks to remove any proprietary components from what they host so hopefully the DRM people at least do that. @ademalsasa @dibi58 @alcinnz

@jbauer @Lyude @ademalsasa @dibi58 @alcinnz I've run neither, though I've gotten some bugfixes into gitea. Regardless, gitea > gitlab seems really obvious to me. Gitlab is very heavy and requires Ruby, Gitea is Go, which makes the language irrelevant in deployment.

@cuniculus Open Core is not the same as Open Source[1], and nowhere near Free Software. /Some/ parts of GitLab are "open source" but to even contribute patches you have to agree to a clause that states they can use your code in a proprietary system. Debian was originally going to choose Pagure[2] for those reasons and I'm not really sure why they went with GitLab instead, but they did.[1] https://opensource.org/blog/OpenCore[2] https://lwn.net/Articles/724986/@Lyude @ademalsasa @dibi58 @alcinnz

@jbauer @ademalsasa @dibi58 @alcinnz yes, we do, our commitment to open source hasn't gone anywhere :).

@ademalsasa The other development model that i prefer is the email-driven one. Instead of doing web-based pull requests, you use git send-email to send your patch off to a maintainer or mailing list using email. Drew DeVault did a video recently talking about the difference in the two workflows which you can watch here: https://spacepub.space/videos/watch/1619c000-7c44-4330-9177-29a0854bd759Thanks for the kind comments!@alcinnz

@mathew @jbauer @Lyude @ademalsasa @dibi58 @alcinnz I read a document like that and I feel nothing but fortunate that #go caught on and I found my way out of living that kind of life.
