Re: Proposal to deploy GitLab on gnome.org

[Carlos Soriano <csoriano protonmail com>]

Hello Hubert,

Glad to hear you are supportive of the idea.

Regarding your questions:

1- will URL to cgit be remapped to the gitlab instance?

Last time I checked with Andrea and Alberto that was the plan.

2- what are the migration plans for bugzilla: bugzilla URL, bug numbers and the actual content

In the wiki we outline what our plans are. However this is a moving target based on the input we receive here.

We have to find a balance between how much reasonable effort would one way to migrate or the other vs the benefits. Also, different projects might have different needs for migration.

For example, for Nautilus we could migrate just specific important bugs or just file new bugs in GitLab while preserving the old ones in Bugzilla, where I can still follow/fix/comment them. As I'm the one maintaining it, I prefer a slow and smooth transition rather than a hard one and take the opportunity to focus on the priority ones.

Best regards,

Carlos Soriano

I'm totally supportive of the idea. While it is a proposal, I just have

a couple of questions about the migration:

1. will URL to cgit be remapped to the gitlab instance so that any link

to any specific commmit still point to the proper place? Commit sha1 are

immutable so it is a matter of having a proper redirector where cgit

lives... unless the cgit instance is kept alive.

2. what are the migration plans for bugzilla: bugzilla URL, bug numbers

and the actual content?

I know none of these are easy to implement. Let me know how I can help.

Cheers,

Hub
