*User Repos*
TLDR: I would like to make user repos read-only by April 30th. We should
archive them by May 31st.
Time spent operating user repositories could be spent reducing our
end-to-end continuous integration cycles. These do not seem like
mission-critical repos, seems like developers would be better off
hosting these on bitbucket or github. Using a 3rd-party host has obvious
benefits for collaboration & self-service that our existing system will
never meet.
How much time do we spend operating user repositories? I follow the repos
bugzilla components and most of the requests I see have little if anything
to do with user repositories. And I reckon that's because user repositories
are self-service.
Note that while user repositories are self-service on the creation side,
there is no obvious way to self-service a user repo removal. I'm not in
Taras's list, but after looking, I figured I had an old m-c copy with
old patches on top of it.
Prior to the hg migration to local disk there was (well technically
still is):
ssh hg.mozilla.org edit <repo>
which allowed you to delete it. We even had/have this info on MDN. The
bug exists today that the deletion does not propogate out to the
local-storage webheads.
