Thanks for bringing this up. No strong opinions, more like some side comments:

I simply don't know exactly what Gitlab / Gitorious offer that you might see as good reasons to consider them. > Do we need a code review tool like Gerrit [4] or Review Board [5]? > (note that we currently use Owen's splinter on bugzilla for doing > code / patches reviews) Splinter on bugzilla.gnome.org has been broken for ages, I always get "Failed to retrieve attachment 123456" and gave up, though it was nice. *If* we'd like to bikeshed, err, discuss about moving to a code review tool, we should define criteria and check other project's evaluations for the same problem first, e.g. MediaWiki's Gerrit use: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Gerrit_evaluation . LibreOffice and Eclipse also use Gerrit when I checked a few months ago. KDE (and Apache) use Review Board but I couldn't find any evaluations (looks like the KDE Plasma team had started with it even earlier). For GNOME's historical reasons against reviewboard, see http://blog.fishsoup.net/2009/09/15/review-board-vs-git-bz/ andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
