tbrowder if i want to work on raku.land prs, how do i do that using github? 13:11
lizmat you don't, you'd need to work on gitlab 13:13
?
tbrowder hm, ok. i looked at lots of places comparing gitlab, github, etc. the casual survey said github is best for FOSS because of ease of use for helpers. i do think raku.land would be best if moved to github. my 2 cents 13:55
and no offense to its developer, it's an important project but it needs love to be more useful 13:56
for instance, dingbats like moi need some way to have bad modules in zef/fez flagged as such. that should be relatively easy to do with zef/raku.land interface 13:59
lizmat re github vs gitlab: some people do not want to be involved with Github anymore because of MS 14:04
and we have to accept that
tbrowder lizmat, we don't accept behavior we don't like, so, in some way, what is the difference? imho, we should be trying to unify the community to grow use of raku. splintering into little-used infra doesn't help. 14:42
i love raku. i want to see if grow.
*it
the avg age of users is not decreasing 14:43
lizmat true, but we're all volunteers, and if a volunteer decides to open source their project on a different place than that we're used to 14:44
there's not a lot we can do but to kindly ask them if they'd be willing to move
and that question has been asked in the past, and the answer was no 14:45
so we will have to either live with it, or set up a similar service of your own
I chose live with it :-)
tbrowder sigh..., ok then, thnx 14:46
jjatria FWIW, I think I'm on the record as saying that I don't really care where the code is hosted, but that it would be a pity if we got to a point where things _had_ to be hosted on a specific platform for them to work 16:43
In that sense, I'm more against monopolies than I am against MS
But if there's a feature someone would want to implement on RL, and they prefer the GH interface, I'd be happy to review a GH fork and make sure the code ends up where it needs to be, even if we don't move away from GL 16:44
coleman GitLab even lets you log in with a GitHub account. It's quite accessible. 17:43
jjatria: if you haven't already, a GitLab->GitHub read-only push fork could aid discoverability. Then, if you are willing, people could indeed fork that and you could review the diffs if you so choose. But to be honest, I think we are too concentrated on GitHub, but it is hard to unwind, because we use GitHub authorization groups to govern some important stuff. 17:45
Actually, a pull-fork from GitHub might be easier... 17:47
Ah it looks like GitHub doesn't do automatic mirroring 17:54
