So #Forgejo 7.0.2 has been released and it fixed a rather obscure bug I found: Replying to issues via e-mail didn't always add the attachments like screenshots. This is now fixed! Yay! And it was just a systemctl stop forgejo; podman pull codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:7-rootless; systemctl start forgejo on my #RHEL9 server! https://forgejo.org/releases/
@morenonatural Sorry, the emoji was mainly expressing that we saw the post and are considering the impact on Codeberg / #Forgejo, and how to potentially improve the situation.
The #Forgejo monthly update was published ✨ It is a high level overview of the project activities.
Contributors celebrated the release of Forgejo v7.0 and Codeberg was upgraded the next day. A lot of effort went into the automation of the development process. As Forgejo matures, more and more of the work is about day to day management of bug reports, localization, security, etc. 17 interviews were conducted to better understand how it is used and shape its roadmap.
With #Forgejo v7, there is now experimental code search support. It is currently only available to logged-in users and up to a certain repo size for performance reasons.
Results are generated with git-grep on the fly. We are working on integration with an external search index and also making progress there, but it will take some more time until this is ready.
Now is a good time to get involved with #Forgejo, because the roadmap for the next release is being determined.
Get involved, be it as a designer, frontend or backend developer, translator, user researcher or by helpin to triage bugs and determining feature priority.
The actual upgrade (and respective database migrations) are running now. The #Forgejo part looks smooth so far, we expect to return to service in about 5 minutes.
@fujowebdev It's nice to see representation of something other than #GitHub, but given that #GitLab is maintained by a forprofit, i expect it's only a matter of time before the same shit starts happening (and there /has/ already been one incident). It'd be cool to see like a cameo (or at least an offhand mention) of something like #Forgejo.
TIL: When you use #codeberg and/or #forgejo, you can pimp your profile page by creating a repository called .profile (the dot is important) with a single file called README.md in it. Once done, the Markdown in said file will be shown as default content on your profile page. This is going to be fun! https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer
The Forgejo community has just published the 7.0.1 bug fix release[1]. I went to my server, did a systemctl stop forgejo, to stop the rootless container[2] I use to run it, issued podman pull codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:7-rootless to get the updates, and finally systemctl start forgejo and done. Updated. Thank you @forgejo for being awesome and working so hard on making things better and better!
basculement de #gitea vers #forgejo sous #docker, c’est assez simple. #synology
il suffit de changer dans votre docker-compose l’image de gitea pour forgejo.
Forgejo v7.0 is available with translations in Bulgarian, Esperanto, Filipino and Slovenian; SourceHut builds integration; support for the SHA-256 hash function in Git; source code search by default and more. It also is the first Long Term Support version. The adoption of semantic versioning is the reason for the version bump from v1.21 to v7.0 and is compatible with existing tools. ✨
After the #XZ attack, I have a suggestion for all #software forges (#Forgejo, #GitHub, #Gitea, #Sourceforge, etc.):
Have some way to visualize binary files better, including diffs to such files. Cuz now, we have basically nothing except byte counters.
Since they're binary files, it must be as generic as possible. But even some rendering or analysis is better than nothing.
The idea is to expose weird patterns in binary files that could be a sign of an attack.
Giving up on configuring #forgejo to send e-mails. No matter what I try, it can't authenticate to my mail server. "Password mismatch" though it works without problems when I connect with my normal e-mail client, so I know the password is correct. I tried putting the password as PASSWORD and without the backticks in app.ini, no luck.
SOLVED: The key in app.ini is named PASSWD not PASSWORD. #facepalm
