Purpose
Vision
To empower Fedora developers and the Fedora community with a streamlined workflow through a consolidated Git source control and issue tracking solution, powered by Forgejo on Fedora Infrastructure.
Mission
To consolidate Fedora's source code management, issue tracking, and project hosting onto a single Forgejo platform deployed on the Fedora OpenShift Cluster, replacing Bugzilla and sun-setting Pagure (src.fedoraproject.org and pagure.io), while offering a migration path for Fedora Project repositories currently hosted on external platforms.
Plan
1. Deployment of Forgejo:
- Deploy a single instance of Forgejo on Fedora Infrastructure.
- Configure this instance to host repositories and groups directly related to the Fedora Project's core development and infrastructure.
- Include the package source repositories (currently on src.fedoraproject.org) within this Forgejo instance.
2. Migration of Fedora Project Repositories:
- Migrate all relevant Fedora Project repositories and groups from Pagure.io to the new Forgejo instance.
- Establish organizations within Forgejo to mirror existing team structures.
3. Migration of Package Sources:
- Migrate all package sources from src.fedoraproject.org to a dedicated organization within the Forgejo instance.
- Use Forgejo teams to manage permissions on the package sources
4. Decommissioning Pagure.io and src.fedoraproject.org:
- Provide a migration window for non-Fedora Project repositories on Pagure.io to transition to alternative hosting platforms (e.g., Codeberg, GitLab.com, GitHub.com).
- Provide a migration window for Fedora Project repos to migrate to Forgejo
- Disable Pagure.io and src.fedoraproject.org after the migration period.
- Archive or delete the data from the decommissioned platforms.
5. Backend Tooling Development:
- Develop necessary backend tooling to ensure seamless integration between Forgejo and Fedora's existing infrastructure and workflows.
