Friends,

The Devuan project is changing its git repository manager from GitLab to
Gitea[1]. The main motivation for this change is to avoid the excessive server
resource consumption of the GitLab instance. It has also become increasingly
difficult to incorporate necessary security fixes without enabling new
'features' that are not wanted or required.

The new Gitea installation is already available at
https://gitea.devuan.dev. Ultimately this will replace GitLab at
https://git.devuan.org.

The Devuan infrastructure admin team will migrate the official Devuan
repositories from GitLab to Gitea and setup a new team structure.

However, action is required by individual users who will need to register new
accounts and migrate any personal repositories they wish to preserve.

Once you have signed up for an account, the process of migration is
straightforward:

- Login to https://gitea.devuan.dev.

- Click on the '+' symbol at the top of the dashboard and select 'New
Migration'.

- Specify the repository to be cloned and complete your account details from
https://git.devuan.org.

- Click on 'Migrate repository'

To avoid the additional confusion that may be caused by running both Gitea and
GitLab simultaneously, we aim to complete this process as speedily as
possible. You help to achieve this is greatly appreciated.

Do ask if you have any questions.

Mark
