Re: Infrastructure | Moving libhandy from the Purism infra to the GNOME one (#148)



Title: GitLab

Thanks everyone! Next week is surely fine.

I would though request that we are more careful about what libraries we add to core. I think it's fine here, but if we have a policy that no core should depend on World/ libhandy shouldn't have been added to core in the first place :-)

So we (release-team) don't have any policy that recognizes gitlab.gnome.org groups like GNOME/ or World/. We do have a policy that gnome-build-meta core elements must not depend on world elements, but libhandy is not in our world, it's in our core-deps and has been for a long time now.

It's not really practical for us to restrict what libraries core apps want to depend on on where they're hosted. It's not as if depending on a random GitHub library (which has to be allowed) is somehow worse than depending on something under gitlab.gnome.org/World.
