Re: Next steps for gitlab.debian (Re: GitLab B.V. to host free-software GitLab for Debian project)



Is it practical to use both concurrently for a brief period before finally settling, it would require more setup time but would add some insight to a debate that is currently mainly opinion based.

Point of clarification: we don't expect software that is written just for
Debian (snapshot.debian.org and udd.debian.org come to mind) to be packaged.

We would prefer other software (gitlab, pagure, etc.) to be packaged, if
possible; surely this software is useful to our community and having it
packaged is worthwhile.
