As a guix user and package maintainer I'm ecstatic.
I'm so proud of the community for rallying around the needs and pain points of everyone and making this decision. This reduces so many pain points for a guix user and will hopefully smooth out the package maintenance process a great deal. Email is simple but trying to do code change communication over it can be very complex and time-laborous.
If you're curious about functional packaging systems grab guix on your distro and give it a try!
Special shout out to anyone burnt out on Nix lang. Come feel the warm embrace of Scheme's parentheses. :)
- It would have been better to self host forgejo, rather than trusting a cloud git service using forgejo. But to be honest, its TOS, as well as the sourcehut's TOS which I even like it better, sound way better than GH's...
  
  Yes it's ToS, and also its structure - it's basically a non-profit club rather than a for-profit business like GitHub (now owned by M$), which means it isn't prone to enshittifying.
  
  I agree to some degree but the gnu project doesn't have a great track record for performative hosting (savannah is very prone to going down for long periods of time.)
  I don't begrudge better hosting infrastructure from a different non-profit.
More GNU projects need to do this
- Not only GNU projects, but also entire distributions. Void Linux, for example, is still on GitHub! I hope so much that they will turn to Forjego, Codeberg or Gitea.
  
  True or maybe even sourcehunt
Sounds like it would be nice if Savannah offered Forgejo hosting.
Thats awesome news for both parties.
Codeberg just sketchy …
- Why?
  
  They bombarded my mailbox with alt right nazi spam. It was an obvious data breach but they keep saying ”no user data was compromised”. Who’s gonna believe that?
