Is this when they break drop-in compatibility with Gitea?
That would mean they would have to do actual development instead of just scraping off stickers, so I’m not holding my breath.
a decision was made in early 2024 to become a hard fork
Is there a time line for full Federation?
Best I can do is half Federation.... 2/3 if you pay in cash.
What is this?
Self hosted GitHub, if i say in layman terms
“Long term support” is 15 months?
Is this a fucking joke?
Codeberg is run off of donations, they have no service contract revenue. Nobody, much less a volunteer, wants to commit to a 5 or 10 year service plan like that, it's not sustainable for a small project from a non profit.
I am sure Gitea will be happy to provide you longer support if you pay them for it /s
It's about 5 times longer than previous releases were maintained for, and is an experiment. If there's a need for a longer term support branch, there will be one. It's pointless to start maintaining an 5+ year branch with 0 users and a handful of volunteers, none of whom are paid for doing the maintenance.
So yes, in that context, 15 months is long.
I'm working with an OS with a 26-year support window.
LTS is 10 years. Support the one that RH/Rocky toss into the next release. Anything less than 8 years requires air-quotes around the 'L'.
MFW I get downvotes for repeating what used to be considered Enterprise support before the dotcom bust. Sorry to be the voice of the past.
“Software Forge” doesn’t readily describe its purpose to me.
"Forge" is literally what softwares like GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo is called. From Wikipedia
"In FOSS development communities, a forge is a web-based collaborative software platform for both developing and sharing computer applications."
softwares
That noun never gets an s at the end. It's like 'mail' and 'traffic'.
