Hi,
I just noticed the package pages linking to github, instead of https://git.archlinux.org/.
So far, trying to view the commit history for any community package just resulted in a page with the message:
Sorry, this commit history is taking too long to generate
See, i.e. here: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commits/master/element.io/tr...
I can find the package I'm interested in manually in https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/ but is there a better solution for this planned somehow?

Try using https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commits/packages/element.io/...

Is there a reason for that change? I remember a few weeks ago these links still pointed to git.archlinux.org, which I prefer over GitHub since it has been acquired by Microsoft.

The reason being that git.archlinux.org is being decommissioned at some point in the future. As of now, the repositories on git.archlinux.org are still being synced, but I expect that not to be the case soon.
Also, github is being used as mirror for most Arch Linux projects, but they are being moved to a hosted gitlab instance, at gitlab.archlinux.org.

Thanks for clarifying :) Does that mean that gitlab.archlinux.org is meant to replace git.archlinux.org in the long run, and GitHub will be just a mirror?

Yes, although, things are still not fully defined for everthing. I would say, however, that anything under https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux can be considered the de facto upstream for those projects as of now.
It doesn't mean that mirroring always will be done, or that in some instances that the mirroring won't be done in the opposite direction (ie, from gitlab to github). Things are still evolving.

Hi,
I need to pick up this thread once more. Again, I wanted to access an older version of a package in the official repositories today. But the "view changes" link still points to github. I manually found the svntogit/community.git repository under git.archlinux.org. Is git.archlinux.org still supposed to be taken down in the near future? Will the svntogit-repositories move to gitlab until then? Or what will be the local non-commercial mirror for accessing them?
Thanks a lot, LuKaRo

No, the cgit instance will go away in the for see-able future (hopefully 2020). Note that the view changes button works fine? It shows an overview of commits for me for a package.

No, as Gitlab isn't able to scale to repository's this size ironically. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/232072

git.archlinux.org as long as it stays alive.

Hi,
thanks for clarifying! It's a pity that GitLab simply doesn't scale enough for our big repository. But at least they confirmed the issue and did some tests, so let's hope this will be fixed in a future version :)
Is it right that when the cgit instance is gone, there be will be no local HTTP mirror for these repositories anymore? I think it would be a pity to point all users to GitHub.com, as we would rely on a commercial software with a doubtful privacy policy then. Is it possible to find a solution for that?
Thanks a lot for all your efforts,
