IBM RedHat buying gitlab and making it 'fully' open-source should solve their problem.

berkes• 6 years ago

Not all problems, though.

A large amount of (less important) requirements from Fedora were about tooling. They built a lot of it, tightly coupled into Pagure. Like dist-git and FAZ user management.

It could be built into gitlab, or ported, or rewritten. But that is not the point: the requirements were there. And gitlab does not meet those requirements. As the author puts it: 'But it turns out that some of the requirements that the Fedora community thought it was providing to the process got watered down along the way. '
