Turn Codeberg Pages into gitea-pages? #377

circlebuilder commented 2021年01月03日 08:49:54 +01:00

While I was reading #362, marked as bug, I felt that the PR was a bit of a bolt-on to something that is a workaround to missing Gitea functionality.

Isn't the issue really that Codeberg - with Gitea lacking a Github-like Pages feature of its own (i.e. with repo Settings UI for Pages) - came up with the workaround to have a "Pages" magic name to demarkate Pages repositories?

A possible solution being to turn the Codeberg Pages functionality in, idk, a Gitea plugin project maybe, offered on awesome-gitea, so its available all across the (gitea-)board, and for more people to add contrib?

Then other open issues (e.g. #303 #218 #115) with pending/proposed features can be addressed in that project.

I'm personaly against this.
It should be a side project or eaven better implemented as a plugin

Part of Gitea then, ideally, you mean to say.. or just as-is?

Edit: I mentioned Plugin. Not familiar with all the packaging options at hand.

As a maintainer of gitea I see the codebase grow and grow - at some moint it's hard to maintain and keep clean ... or just say it in other words: I dont like to see gitea to become gitlab

100% valid point. I think my first sentence may have put you off-track.. sorry, should have formulated better, because in your 1st follow-up comment was what I intended: a side-project and/or plugin that exists independent of Gitea main project, and that people just grab iif they want a Pages-like service.

I think, such a discussion shall be opened over at Gitea, explaining why more people than those using Codeberg (= users of other instances) need this feature. This is nothing, we should discuss here.

It'd of course be cool if someone would pick this up and provide a 'cleaner' implementation like a plugin for Gitea including some wanted features like more settings etc.

But currently there's a lot to do at Gitea and there are also some feature requests for Codeberg pages, I simply fear that there's no power for a re-implementation of the existing stuff anytime soon. Sorry. Of course open if someone wants to have a look at this.

I think the way Moritz goes with the new codeberg-pages is a good one. Clean code base to add all the features on top (and get away from the simple hack as it was called here), and Gitea can concentrate on a reliable and feature-rich git hosting solution (since not everyone needs a pages feature ...).

if it goes into deploy we can mention codeberg-pages on gitea docs :)

this way each project can focus on there core aims
