I guess it's a bit late, but do we really need categories on gitea?
The simple world I would have expected:
git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/libosmo-pfcp git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmo-upf
The world we live in:
git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/celullar_infarsturcure/libosmo-pfcp git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/osmo-upf git clone https://gerrit.osmocom.org/libosmo-dsp
and
works: git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-upf fails: git clone https://git.osmocom.org/osmo-upf works: git clone https://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-pfcp
While I'm at it: do we have a designated primary git place for Osmocom? De facto the answer seems to be: gerrit, except when it's not on gerrit.
Because of the above issues, currently there is a wave of patches rolling out which edit build scripts and READMEs to change git URLs -- it feels wrong that this is necessary.
It seems the topic needs some clarification, and maybe it is still possible to simplify the git structures?
- remove the layer of categories from gitea? - move gitea/cellular-infrastraucute/* to gitea/osmocom/* ? - point git.osmocom.org at gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/ ? (cgit.osmocom.org still works) - keep cgit as the primary git place, gitea as users' playgrounds?
(not sure if possible or good ideas)
