they have a release candidate out. my prediction is that codeberg should start using once a real release is made.
Codeberg will use Forgejo? What’s the point of Codeberg existing then? o.0
Codeberg was using gitea so far. Now gitea has been eated up a for profit company and the gitea trademark belongs to said company. They plan on making money by selling services for an enterprise edition like github does. I think enterprise edition code will be close sourced too in part.
So the community forked gitea and changed its name to forgejo. Forgejo trademark is owned by codeberg which is a non-profit.
From a blog post on their website:
Codeberg website will do what it has always done. Will just use forgejo as backend instead of gitea.
Ahhh, I didn’t know Codeberg was using Gitea’s backend, I though Codeberg was its own Github alternative, is the front end also from Gitea?
yes. codeberg is a single binary and serves the frontend too. not sure if there are other frontends for it.
