It seems I'm still the only person interested in working on gitea packaging. Bummer, I almost got hopeful once or twice.
There are a lot of things still pending, a few packages that will be an exceptional time sink, as well as other obvious packaging flaws, and a weird working directory issue within gitea. Despite the package being unsuitable for release, I popped up a repository to make my current work available for playing with.
