    RE: toot.aquilenet.fr/@civodul/116

    Subjectively, #Guix on #Codeberg feels more compact, cozy and lively. Debbugs felt half-abandoned and half-working.

    My guess is that the reason in the quality of underlying tech. Forgejo feels more reliable: search in web UI works properly, if the comment sent you are sure it won't be lost, you also see all the changes to tickets immediately, not in a few hours or days.

    I miss the full offline archive of all the discussions and patches, but I think the change was for the good.

    @abcdw It's an interesting question, I started a thread on #guix-devel mailing list as I'm interested in what #guix developers feel overall.

    With my "developer" hat on the weakest part is Issue management.

    @abcdw If you're packaging / developing for a Linux distribution there are a lot of bugs from users.

    If you work on Debian / Ubuntu / ReadHat bugs are sorted by package, routed by developer, checked against other issues. There's the ability to create lists of bugs and search the DB by different types.

    Issues is very generic and it works for "someone writing code", but distribution engineering is a bit different.

    Along with the loss of #email - the move was worth it, but there's trade-offs.
