The momentum stalled when the community was plagued recently by toxic behaviour of one of the members who started the fork. He had to step down from the "well-being" team[1], bullied a moderation team member into stepping down[2] and forced him to disclose information from a private chat[3].
Now he is trying to "reboot" the community to erase his previous bad behaviour [4]
Forgejo members are also unhappy about conflicts of interest of this individual [5]
The Forgejo community is stronger than this one individual, so it will succeed.
It is sad to see that the forgejo team accept and promote the built-in CI server. When the PR was first made they said they shouldn't trust the code, and will stick with woodpecker.
Forgejo is AGPL, there was just a vote and the community came out strongly to say they disagree with commercial usage of Forgejo! I am so happy they did that!
> Why should anyone care/use CI/CD software because Codeberg uses it?
Woodpecker is community-run, and Codeberg is a non-profit running the biggest Gitea instance.
> You speak negatively of Gitea, highlighting a fork because they were working on a CI
The for-profit Gitea company released the integrated CI/CD that should not be trusted because it was a code dump and worked on in secret. You can read more about the hostile takeover of Gitea at the open letter https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social
> Woodpecker which itself is a fork of Drone CI
Drone CI is not open source, and does not respect user freedoms.
This should not be trusted, the for-profit company worked on in secret on this for months with multiple people, and released it today in a code dump with no input from the community. Now they have no incentive to support alternative CI/CD like woodpecker
Today the for-profit company released a code dump for the implementation of an integrated CI/CD server. This was worked on in secret for months by multiple people with no say from the community. Gitea should work with Woodpecker for closer integration, not build one by itself. There is no incentive for the company to support alternative CI/CD
