Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot (www.phoronix.com)

The Gentoo Linux project last year announced plans to move their code hosting to Codeberg rather than GitHub. Gentoo's desire to move away from GitHub was motivated by Microsoft's Copilot training on GitHub repositories. Those plans are turning into action now with the main Gentoo project up on Codeberg and honoring pull requests.

Gentoo announced today they now have a presence on Codeberg and are welcoming code contributions there as an alternative to GitHub. Initially it's their ebuild repository being hosted on Codeberg while eventually all Gentoo GitHub repositories will be migrated. Codeberg is based on Forgejo and hosted in Germany as a non-profit.

Now you !nixos ! Get off that Microslop playform. If gentoo can, so can you.

Moving nixpkgs development from GitHub would be ambitious, as that repo already pushes their infrastructure limits with enterprise level support.

I suspect the Nix org would need to garner many more sponsors to fund the hosting expenditures for an equivalent forge with matching CI/CD, PR automation, and geo redundancy. Would be nice to see.

It is quite a large project to move from over ci/cd to another. I worked at EA for 13 years and we moved from Jenkins to another platform. (Jenkins suuuuucks. If you ever wonder what hell looks like, try to maintain a Jenkins instance with a shit ton of plugins, half of which are no longer maintained and you have to upgrade the instance...)
