# gitlab agreement It's a question someone asked me recently and in fact I have no idea/ clue what to answer : what's the current agreement between CentOS Project and Gitlab and which features (limits / quota ?) can we use or not. Maybe worth clarifying ? I was just checking for features/seats/price and found https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/. OTOH, I was searching for info about gitlab.com hosted gitlab being free to use for OSS projects , and then found this : https:// about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/ , and seeing that CentOS (old logo btw) is listed as open source partner so I guess we're then covered and no need to be afraid of the future ? (I see Fedora also listed there but Fedora recently decided to switch to Forgejo - https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-moves-towards-forgejo- a-unified-decision/)
This is a good question, and I don't know the answer offhand, but I agree with you that based on https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open- source/partners/ we should be in the clear. I will try to find out more.
# lookaside cache usage At the moment, we're still relying on specific cgi to let authenticated SIGs member to push to on-premises lookaside cache. Would there suddenly a need to evaluate using gitlfs, that they support ? (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/git/lfs/)
I don't think this is necessarily a requirement, we should be able to continue using the existing lookaside for now. Git LFS would be useful to explore as an option for future-proofing, but it shouldn't be a blocker here.
# migration to gitlab I know that Fedora, when doing some investigation about eventually moving projects to gitlab, have written a tool to easily export/import from pagure git repo itself (easy) but also the tickets/issues , so that it would not be lost, so eventually worth investigating ? (https://github.com/fedora-infra/pagure-exporter) .. and btw, migrating centos board project itself with issues would then be a good candidate ? :)
Yes, Neal mentioned this during the meeting as well. It's definitely something we'll look into and leverage, especially for repos such as the board issues one.
Cheers Davide
Hi,
I'd like to know the status about discussion for potential move to Gitlab. I tried to follow the recent board meetings but there was no clear statement/progress on this and I'd like to know in advance.
As announced, Fedora and CentOS public infra will have to migrate to a new DC/hosting facility this year (dates to be announced but probably - for centos - in Q3). That means that I'd like to know the status/future for git.centos.org and so if we have to migrate it to new DC, or not.
Migrating it wouldn't be a big issue though, but just something to consider.
Kind Regards,
