Re: [E-devel] Gitlab/Infrastructure Slowvote

2018-10-03 Thread Stephen Houston
So far that is 6 votes to move to gitlab, either on sponsored hosting or
our current infrastructure, while there are just 2 votes to remain with
Phab either on our own infrastructure or hosted.

Seems like there is a large majority wanting Gitlab instead of Phab. Let's
continue voting for another week or so, as many devs have not responded.

If Gitlab still has such a large lead in one manner or another after said
time, we can then assume the overwhelming preference of our community is to
move to Gitlab from Phab and I will make a discussion topic and then
perhaps a future vote for discussing how we want to handle it
infrastructure wise.

Re: [E-devel] Gitlab/Infrastructure Slowvote

2018-10-01 Thread jaquilina

Morning Guys,

To answer your questions.

In regards to a server to migrate the infrastructure to I am ready to 
sponsor such an endeavour. I am also ready to rebuild the existing 
server.


The question here becomes is the community ready for this to happen? I 
think this is what the vote is for. I am not trying to push beber to the 
side I know he is busy and I am willing to step up and get things goign 
in terms of being rebuilt.


Regards,
Jonathan.

Re: [E-devel] Gitlab/Infrastructure Slowvote

2018-09-26 Thread Simon Lees
Hi all,

Regardless of gitlab vs phab while Bertrand has done a great job for a
long time I think that rebuilding our infra on a more mainstream distro
makes a lot of sense, because it will be much easier to document and for
more people to understand. Whether it ends up being Centos, openSUSE
Leap or Debian doesn't really matter to me but I think those three are
the ones that make the most sense atleast for the bare metal machine.

If we decide that we would like to migrate to gitlab, then as Jonathan
has said setting up a temporary machine that will look and feel like
whatever we eventually want for our infra migrating to gitlab on that
machine, then giving us the time to get our core infra back into shape
and migrating back when its ready makes alot of sense.

Re: [E-devel] Gitlab/Infrastructure Slowvote

2018-09-26 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
My suggestion would be to move to a temporary server and use the full power of 
the physical server and chroots and or docker containers. I think using the 
bare metal setup right on something like centos would provide us with better 
stability. If more bleeding edge stuffnis needed go for fedora.

Re: [E-devel] Gitlab/Infrastructure Slowvote

2018-09-26 Thread Stephen Houston
1.  Yes I'm referring to the sponsored hosting Mike referenced.  As to
whether or not that is ideal - that is one of the reasons I wanted to see
people's opinions on the slowvote.

2. I'm well aware you spent time on the thread and played with the
prototype.  I'm also aware that not all questions are answered :)  What I
blamed Marcel for was not expressing his concerns more in the thread - but
perhaps this was too harsh.  The thread got pretty much hijacked with
arguments about our current infra.  So here is what we know.  Mike is
willing teach and help with migration - Johnathan Aquilna is willing to put
forth a large effort with it and is a sysadmin.  I am willing to help and
do it.  There are others as well.  Yes there are no guarantees and it will
take work.  What I'm interested in with the vote, is whether or not the
community even wants to go this direction and what kind of infrastructure
they want for it.

3.  Gitlab CI would not be intended to be integrated with Travis, but
replace it.  This doesn't have to be on our own infra - but it can be
either way.  There are many options here.  But again these are decisions
that would have to be made.  Right now I'm trying to gauge from the
community whether or not it is worth putting in the time to develop plans
and debate a focused end goal and how to get there.

The server you mentioned here is the cloud hosting Mike offered? I read
nothing besides that. No details on who is sponsoring, how long, on a
monthly basis (could be canceled any time) or one big chunk to be
managed by the EFL foundation, etc.

Relying on sponsorship for critical infrastructure is difficult for an
open source project. Not impossible, but difficult. You basically base
your trust on business decisions not changing in a company.

Without a clear pledge on the sponsorship level in terms of length and
amount this option sounds really problematic to me.

I spent time on the thread, looked at the prototype and raised
questions. Not all have been answered nor have they all been fully
dissected. Wiki is per project in Gitlab and not overall like Phab, we
use cgit while phab also offers a git web interface, etc.

Blaming Marcel for not spending time on the thread is pretty harsh if
many of these things have not been answered and are still in "to be
found out" state.

How would Gitlab help with the CI situation? I see no good integration
with things like Travis for it (if I missed it I am happy to get pointed
to it). It basically means we would move our CI over to Gitlab and all
builds run on our infra (cloud/or hardware). That could easily bring
back the overloading problems we had on e5. I am very hesitant in buying
into using Gitlab for CI without enough knowledge about it.

A fair question.


- Is the sponsoring a permanent choice, or just something for a year or
so, and the overall plan is to migrate back, (this was also proposed in
the "Gitlab" thread).


Stephen clarified this now in the vote. The vote would be on the end
goal. Gitlab on own infra in this case.


Those questions are rather fundamental (at least to me) in order to vote
for anything. Also, how useful is it to know that the community wants to
have a sponsored service if there is no funding at all.


I think using the term sponsorship is a bit misleading. The current
server and network access is also sponsored. What I understand from the
thread is that some wanted a cloud service (which would be sponsored as
it costs monthly).


From okra:
We were assured the server could be provided free of charge.  I.E.
"Sponsored" not bought or paid for as you and raster seem to think
sponsored means.

It seems we both have been mistaken :)



Nothing about that is clear yet. No price tag on monthly costs, who
would sponsor, for how long, etc. Everyone wanting this should think how
it could happen.

None the less I think its fair to start having a vote on community
desires. That should show a bit better what the people here want.

If there will be a sustainable plan to get to that goal has to be seen.
One have to start somewhere though and this thread has gone in many
direction without a clear directive showing up.

A. We were assured the server could be provided free of charge.  I.E.
"Sponsored" not bought or paid for as you and raster seem to think
sponsored means.

B. If you would have spent the last month or so since that Gitlab thread
started actually testing or using the prototype set up, you would see that
gitlab provides a web interface for git, so no need for cgit.  Obviously
phab provides a wiki and gitlab provides a wiki so the move from phab to
gitlab would move phab's wiki to gitlab's wiki.  Again these are trivial
things that could have/should have been discussed for the many weeks that
has thread has been there.  CI was also mentioned.  It's a huge problem
with e5 and Stefan explained this.  Gitlab has some really good CI tools,
but obviously that is one of the biggest considerations in moving as Stefan
clearly laid out.  CI with E5 is crap.

I will add a temporary move option to the vote.

I didn't jump the gun here.  The Gitlab thread has been around for a long
time now with over 50 responses and is at the point where some kind of
decisions have to be made as it is going to go stale.  There is nothing
more frustrating than people who sit around and have AMPLE AMPLE time to
respond and put opinions out there and concerns and discuss things more,
and choose not to until the time comes to take the next step and they then
want to speak their mind.  Communication really is key.

Finally - This vote isn't going to set anything in stone or set anything in
motion.  After weeks and weeks of responses to the thread, the vote is
simply there to guage what everybody's end goal/desire is so that we can
have more focused discussions about A. Is it possible? B. How do we
accomplish it? C. Pros/Cons D. Community buy-in

Relax a little - Vote on the slowvote as to what your ideal situation would
be and then when the vote is over we will have a good feel of what the
community's ideal situation is and we will see if its possible to get close
to that/accomplish that.

A fair question.

Stephen clarified this now in the vote. The vote would be on the end
goal. Gitlab on own infra in this case.

I think using the term sponsorship is a bit misleading. The current
server and network access is also sponsored. What I understand from the
thread is that some wanted a cloud service (which would be sponsored as
it costs monthly).

Nothing about that is clear yet. No price tag on monthly costs, who
would sponsor, for how long, etc. Everyone wanting this should think how
it could happen.

None the less I think its fair to start having a vote on community
desires. That should show a bit better what the people here want.

If there will be a sustainable plan to get to that goal has to be seen.
One have to start somewhere though and this thread has gone in many
direction without a clear directive showing up.

There is a difference between a precise plan on what kind of changes are 
done and what the overall plan looks like.


- What is happening to the CI, cgit, wiki etc.
- Is the sponsoring a permanent choice, or just something for a year or
so, and the overall plan is to migrate back, (this was also proposed in 
the "Gitlab" thread).


Those questions are rather fundamental (at least to me) in order to vote 
for anything. Also, how useful is it to know that the community wants to 
have a sponsored service if there is no funding at all.

How should i decide if a move would make sense or not in this stage? I
don't even can see what kind of features would be included in case of a
switch to gitlab.

There is no point in developing a plan if we dont know what the plan is or

I don't really see where this vote does make any sense.
There is currently no one stepping up, saying he does the migration, 
there is no plan how the move should be done, there is no plan on where 
the funding would come from.


How should i decide if a move would make sense or not in this stage? I 
don't even can see what kind of features would be included in case of a 
switch to gitlab.
