“Long term support” is 15 months?
Is this a fucking joke?
Codeberg is run off of donations, they have no service contract revenue. Nobody, much less a volunteer, wants to commit to a 5 or 10 year service plan like that, it’s not sustainable for a small project from a non profit.
I’m working with an OS with a 26-year support window.
LTS is 10 years. Support the one that RH/Rocky toss into the next release. Anything less than 8 years requires air-quotes around the ‘L’.
Is this when they break drop-in compatibility with Gitea?
That would mean they would have to do actual development instead of just scraping off stickers, so I’m not holding my breath.
a decision was made in early 2024 to become a hard fork
They can decide and announce all they want. In the end they have to become a more compelling product than gitea on the merits, not just because of nebulous anti-commercial ideology.
