What are the benefits from 2 separate Forgejo instances? With a single Git forge instance:
- The same organisations can be created as in the currently existing Pagure instance for packages: rpm, container, flatpak, etc.
- All old URLs src.fedoraproject.org can be redirected to the respective new URLs under forge.fedoraproject.org with straightforward URL redirection rules.
- We don’t end up in the situation we had with the 2 former discussion boards (Ask vs Discussion) which were eventually merged.
I have read all public discussions in the discussion boards that I could find so far under the tags git-forge-future and fedora-forge and I couldn’t discover where this was agreed upon. It seems like this was the plan from the very beginning and there are some technical reasons that require it. Since I am not sure what these are, I would be happy for any clarification about why this distinction is necessary. I will appreciate any help to understand this. (I’m not a packager and it looks like I’m missing some context here.)
