Friends, The Devuan project is changing its git repository manager from GitLab to Gitea[1]. The main motivation for this change is to avoid the excessive server resource consumption of the GitLab instance. It has also become increasingly difficult to incorporate necessary security fixes without enabling new 'features' that are not wanted or required.
The new Gitea installation is already available at https://gitea.devuan.dev. Ultimately this will replace GitLab at https://git.devuan.org. The Devuan infrastructure admin team will migrate the official Devuan repositories from GitLab to Gitea and setup a new team structure. However, action is required by individual users who will need to register new accounts and migrate any personal repositories they wish to preserve. Once you have signed up for an account, the process of migration is straightforward: - Login to https://gitea.devuan.dev. - Click on the '+' symbol at the top of the dashboard and select 'New Migration'. - Specify the repository to be cloned and complete your account details from https://git.devuan.org. - Click on 'Migrate repository' To avoid the additional confusion that may be caused by running both Gitea and GitLab simultaneously, we aim to complete this process as speedily as possible. You help to achieve this is greatly appreciated. Do ask if you have any questions.
