When you use a service, you depend on the service provider to handle backups. For example, do we have a backup of our mail? But I think the ovirt project should not depend on a single provider and have a git mirror somewhere. I think the most attractive solution is gitlab, which has built-in support for pulling (and pushing) to/from remote repositories: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/mirror/index.html We can do this: 1. Create ovirt organization in gitlab 2. Import all projects from github 3. Set up a pull mirror for every project https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/mirror/pull.html I tried this on my vdsm project in gitlab: https://gitlab.com/nirs/vdsm This repo mirrors my vdsm fork in github: https://github.com/nirs/vdsm Because it neds only read-only access, there is not authentication to set up.
