So, perhaps this was berried in one of the previous discussions, but I don't think we want to replace fedorahosted. Lets stop saying that. Any gitlab deployment I would like to see as a new service for those that would like that, folks who don't want to be bothered could just keep using fedorahosted.
So, moving forward, can we just drop any mention of fedorahosted from this discussion? Call it 'gitlab deployment' or 'gitlab instance for fedora' or something. ;) Please?
You are right... My bad, sorry. I didn't mean to say that it will replace fedorahosted whatsoever. I pictured it being deployed under a subdomain of fedorahosted like the current gitweb. This would not change the current look and feel of fedorahosted.org. And of course that would be opt-in, noone would be compelled to change theirhabits :)
We could possibly do a demo in a cloud instance depending on whats involved.
Cool, that would be nice.
D) aim to have GitLab in production for all Fedora projects on September 1
This is...not likely. :)
a) We should not try and move all projects to it. Only folks who want to use it/opt in.
b) We have a process for bringing up a new supported service: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Request_For_Resources?rd=Infrastructure/RFR I'm sorry it's a bit involved and has many steps. This is to make sure we can actually support something moving forward and don't just get it dumped on us.
c) We freeze around release milestones. It's likely that Fedora 20 will be landing sometime in Aug or early Sept, so we would have to make sure not to disrupt our primary mission of producing Fedora.
Yeap, that was Sytse'sproposal without knowing much about the subject. I guess I am to blame here :p
