The Gentoo Linux project last year announced plans to move their code hosting to Codeberg rather than GitHub. Gentoo’s desire to move away from GitHub was motivated by Microsoft’s Copilot training on GitHub repositories. Those plans are turning into action now with the main Gentoo project up on Codeberg and honoring pull requests.
Gentoo announced today they now have a presence on Codeberg and are welcoming code contributions there as an alternative to GitHub. Initially it’s their ebuild repository being hosted on Codeberg while eventually all Gentoo GitHub repositories will be migrated. Codeberg is based on Forgejo and hosted in Germany as a non-profit.
For me, while I find the duplicate posts annoying (since I tend to go to the “all” section), it’s the fact that they have dozens of accounts that they do this on for no reason that really makes me dislike them. It makes it impossible to block them.
That’s fair, I hardly ever use all because there’s just too much stuff that I’m not interested in, but I can see how having multiple accounts would get very annoying.
