We are planning to upgrade projects.blender.org to Gitea version 1.22 this week, on Thursday morning Amsterdam time. If all goes well it will only be offline for a few minutes.
Some relevant changes in this version:
Prevent simultaneous issue description editing
The custom Blender theme is now closer to the (improved) upstream dark theme
Basic repository code search (without indexer, but seems ok-ish)
More features for issue YAML templates
Forking only uses a single branch by default
Fix missing images in editor preview
Better repository statistics (though it timed out on the Blender repo, smaller ones work ok)
The theme though looks to have had some changes which seems to be a downgrade from where it was.
The grey text on grey on top of grey gives the impression of a website run by a funeral home rather than software developers, and yes, my monitor is properly calibrated.
Not a showstopper, as I’ll probably just use git directly instead later, but…
I tried submitting a larger PR (removing blender_icons.svg, blender_icons16*, blender_icons32.* so 1383 files). Got a “server error: 504” response. Tried a few times with no change.
I updated Gitea with 5 bugfixes for various issues that were reported.
That’s a timeout. Unless it’s a recurring pattern, I’ll assume it’s something in Gitea that could be optimized to run faster but that we don’t consider critical to fix.
