Debian's GitLab instance will run at https://salsa.debian.org https://salsa.debian.org. In May 2017 they had about 19k git repo's in the old system [0]. [0]: https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth#Deprecation_of_Alioth https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth#Deprecation_of_Alioth

  Is there a relatively easy way to keep up with things like this in the Debian project? The "no automatic migration" and the fact that there's 2377 SVN repos still on Alioth worry me a bit.

I thought Debian were moving towards "pagure" (developed by Fedora)? https://anarc.at/blog/2017-06-26-alioth-moving-pagure/ https://anarc.at/blog/2017-06-26-alioth-moving-pagure/ Then I saw this, which dates from August 2017: https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext/GitLab https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext/GitLab Personally, I work on a medium-size free software project, which has to choose between JIRA/Confluence (current), Github (where pull-requests currently happen), custom CI scripts/infra with Jenkins and a patchwork of other stuff. So far, Gitlab is the best option.

    Sounds like a temporary issue? (The link works for me.) You can see a copy of that page here: https://web.archive.org/web/20171102070648/https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/GitNext/GitLab https://web.archive.org/web/20171102070648/https://wiki.debi...

I didn't realize that either. Its awesome. I love GitLab (especially compared to GitHub).

  What is the advantage, other than you can run it yourself?

    I'm not parent, but the biggest advantage I can think of is that Gitlab is open source.
