Just to let fellow devs quickly know that I finished migrating my projects to Codeberg. It was very painless, using a script by LionyxML that, however, doesn’t migrate issues and pull-requests. Luckily I had just one PR that I moved manually, and I may move some issues over if they are still relevant.
The old repos at Github are now archived and read-only.
I guess I’ll have to keep my Github account to be able to work on third-party apps. Which is a bit of a shame, because that’s the majority of the projects I work on, and I can’t enjoy the sheer speed of the Codeberg website with WebPositive…
Also, I think I’ll keep my donations at Github for the time being and let Microsoft pay the credit card fees. Those may come up to $10/year and I figure that’s more useful being spend on Haiku development instead of lining the pockets of some bank.
That’s a great decision, have fun with Codeberg
That other project one wants to contribute to are still on the M$ walled-garden is a major pain that I’m also feeling, but if more developers follow your example, maybe that problem also gets solved one day.
We already have a number of Codeberg users here in the community, which is a great thing.
There is a “migrate from GitHub” (not sure what the exact name is) function in Codeberg. I migrated 2 of my GitHub projects last year and it moved everything including pull requests, issues, and discussions without any problems.
Oh, good to know, but too late. Never mind, there were few open issues, all old, “will not fix”, or got no replies after I commented.
But if that migration does actually work that completely, maybe the project leaders of HaikuArchive and HaikuPorts might consider it. IIRC “issues” not being migrated was an argument against the move.
