# Yet another update post

|

|
|
Wow, look at that. Even more junk to fill my catalog and make it look like I've
|
||
|
|
done more writing than I actually have. Oh well. I'll get straight to the point.
|
||
|
|
At approximately 02:32 I quickly made the decision to move from cgit to Gitea
|
||
|
|
for hosting my Git repositories and projects. For this reason, links to the old
|
||
|
|
Git repositories need to be changed. This mainly applies to those of you that are
|
||
|
|
using speedie-aur, or speedie-overlay. I'm assuming that's quite few of you, but
|
||
|
|
just in case I'm putting this out there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're using speedie-aur, you'll need to edit `/etc/pacman.conf` and change
|
||
|
|
the `Server` to
|
||
|
|
`Server = https://git.speedie.site/speedie/speedie-aur/raw/branch/master/$arch`.
|
||
|
|
If you're using speedie-overlay you'll want to remove the overlay and add it again.
|
||
|
|
See [the repository](https://git.speedie.site/speedie/speedie-overlay) for more
|
||
|
|
information. The Arch wiki article has been updated to reflect these changes as
|
||
|
|
well, and so has the overlay.xml.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have also moved over a lot of GitHub repositories to my Gitea instance, such
|
||
|
|
as my Gentoo kernel for my ThinkPad and desktop, multiple OpenCore configurations,
|
||
|
|
and more, but all Codeberg and GitHub repositories are still accessible. It
|
||
|
|
should be noted though, that I plan on moving all website development to the
|
||
|
|
Gitea instance rather than Codeberg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What you may be screaming right now is WHY? I'll tell you why. Cgit is an
|
||
|
|
excellent Git viewer, but that's all it is. A git viewer. It doesn't handle your
|
||
|
|
repositories, no issue tracking, no pull requests, no users, nothing. This is fine
|
||
|
|
when you're the only one working on a project, as you're going to do most work
|
||
|
|
locally on your computer anyway, and then push using Git from the command line.
|
||
|
|
The problem is when you want to have any kind of collaboration, which is something
|
||
|
|
I realized today (and yesterday). As some of my projects are becoming increasingly
|
||
|
|
complex, I need a way for people to submit bug reports and fix issues. Emailing isn't
|
||
|
|
convenient for the user, and it isn't convenient for me either. Now that I'm using
|
||
|
|
Gitea, any user may create an account and simply create an issue or pull request.
|
||
|
|
There's not any more to it, just simple. If you're familiar with GitHub or even one
|
||
|
|
of the public Gitea instances like Codeberg, this is likely nothing new to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, while I'm writing this blog post I also want to talk about some future changes.
|
||
|
|
I want to slowly move from w2wiki to simply a static website that people can edit
|
||
|
|
through issues and pull requests. In my opinion this is a lot better, not
|
||
|
|
only for security but convenience and flexibility. W2wiki is pretty good, but
|
||
|
|
it is definitely not designed with security in mind, and it isn't hard for anyone
|
||
|
|
to simply remove the entire thing with minimal effort, as we saw with the old
|
||
|
|
speedie.site wiki a while ago.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While it is a static site for the most part, I may still be using PHP if necessary,
|
||
|
|
especially for maintainence. No JavaScript however, although it should be noted
|
||
|
|
that the Gitea instance does use JavaScript. There is just no way around it as
|
||
|
|
far as I know, so it will have to do. All the JavaScript is free as in freedom,
|
||
|
|
which is the important part. I have no plans to put JavaScript anywhere else on
|
||
|
|
my site though, as long as it's feasible.
|
||
|
|
Anyways that's just a small site update. Have been busy with my spmenu Wayland
|
||
|
|
port and other things like that, but now that it's complete I plan on posting
|
||
|
|
more blog posts, as I have a lot of things I want to cover eventually. That's
|
||
|
|
it for me, have a good day!
