[gdal-dev] brainstorming: moving away from github?

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

not something we should rush into, but we should maybe start considering 
a better alternative. The github experience has been really worsening 
over the last months. Hardly an incident every day lately (actions being 
degraded at the very moment of writing this email). Not speaking about 
their obsession to stuff AI everywhere they can.

Codeberg could be such an alternative. Anyone with practical experience 
with it, in particular with a project of the size of GDAL ?  My main 
worry is about CI capabilities & capacity. We are quite heavy burners of 
it. I believe they don't have arm64 runners either, which would be a 
blocker for us. If there are paying plans with reasonable economics, 
IMHO it could make sense to spend sponsorship money for that. And being 
fully aware there would be a non trivial amount of work to complete a 
migration... So not an easy road if we decided to follow it, but given 
the current situation, that's worth keeping that in mind.
