[Koha-devel] Koha mirror on gitlab.com not updated ?

I’ve been in touch with someone at Gitlab, and they pointed out that https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/4590 is just a forum rather than a bug tracker per se. That said, I see Gitlab employees commenting on other “support-forum” issues like https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/5165.

 

The information at https://about.gitlab.com/support/#differences-between-support-tickets-and-gitlab-issues is a bit confusing, as it seems to suggest free users can’t open tickets, but https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us has an option for free users to open tickets. I was also told that it was fine for free users to open tickets, although there is no SLA governing response times.

 

I suggest that we submit a new support ticket via https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us. If the number is shared with me, I’d be happy to try contacting Gitlab folk via side channels to see if they can prioritize it a bit.

 

Judging from https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.html (and some things I’ve heard), it sounds like Gitlab might need to do cleanup work on their end. I don’t think rewriting history is the answer, but maybe they need to do some git garbage collection or do something else to “clean up its own internal state”. 

 

That all being said, while we might solve this problem this once, I imagine it might happen again, so what would our long-term plan be?

 

Is there a reason we use Gitlab.com instead of self-hosting Gitlab?

Our repo is certainly a bit on the big side.. but I'm also disappointed in the lack of response from gitlab.

 

Perhaps we could clarify the issue title a little.. Its not clear from the title that we believe gitlab is estimating the size wrongly

I know there is a mirror on github but the koha-community organization 
there has only 4 repositories, including one which points to gitlab.com <http://gitlab.com>  
(kohadocs), and another that is not directly related to koha (perlweb).
If we compare to gitlab.com <http://gitlab.com>  where there are 17 repositories, I think we 
cannot say that we "moved" to github.

So, the situation is a little weird as almost all repositories are on 
gitlab, except for the main repository which is not updated correctly, 
so people have to go elsewhere (github or git.koha-community.org <http://git.koha-community.org> ) to get 
koha

Hopefully gitlab will fix the issue. But what if they don't ? :/
