Blender moves from Phabricator to Gitea

One note on Phabricator: "Effective June 1, 2021: Phabricator is no longer actively maintained"

This is an interesting move in the context of the recent kerfuffle around Gitea - context: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33749757" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33749757</a><p>I wonder whether this was part of discussion on the migrating within the Blender team or whether their migration just started before the Gitea org-change.<p>---<p>Off-topic but it&#x27;s also funny that the Phabricator fork is Phorge &amp; the Gitea fork is Forgejo...

Makes me wonder what all the other users of phab are doing. I know: twitter, dropbox, freebsd, and mozilla were all using it in some point.<p>I think haskell moved to GitLab, now Blender&#x27;s on Gitea.<p>I&#x27;m curious if people are moving to phorge?<p>Wikimedia still uses phab for bug tracking. Taking a look at phorge Soon™

Not to dunk on Phabricator, but did anyone actually enjoy using it? I always thought it was a mess anyway. Jenkins was also... &quot;jankins&quot;. Of course this is all hindsight, but wow it doesn&#x27;t even seem that long ago.

Is Gitea code review any good? If they cloned Github it&#x27;s going to be an inferior experience compared to Phabricator.

And this blog post describes their adventure: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.blender.org&#x2F;2022&#x2F;07&#x2F;gitea-diaries-part-1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.blender.org&#x2F;2022&#x2F;07&#x2F;gitea-diaries-part-1&#x2F;</a><p>Which includes the famous start of the gitea shitstorm: &quot;And, quite significantly, we’re in the finishing stages of having a support agreement with the Gitea project to have them support us in our migration by funding work on missing features, code and bugfixes that will be available 100% to Gitea users under Gitea’s MIT license.&quot;

I wonder how Gitea will hold up to all the traffic? Even Gitea hosts their stuff on Github.

Gitea really really really looks like github.

&gt; The Git repositories have changed location.<p>&gt; The development branch is now named main instead of master.<p>If only we could avoid such pointless downstream-affecting changes. Cool URI&#x27;s shouldn&#x27;t change. We have the technology. And doing such changes to satisfy manufactured outrage is even more sad.

Did they consider moving to gitlab?

Great news for self hosting and not sitting on and going all in on unreliable services like GitHub.
