*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.
We are happy to help move specific hg repos to bitbucket.
Once you have migrated your repository, please comment in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988628so we can free some
disk space.
I think it's utterly sad making that we're giving up on hosting, instead
of fixing it.
I have several things in my user repos that only run on our hg server,
mostly because all other repo hoster don't send correct mimetypes for
raw files. In particular this affects dashboards I created to share
aggregated bugzilla data etc.
I'm also sad that we're removing the ability for contributors to share
their mozilla-central clones, at least in large parts of the world.
Pushing a full clone to some random server just isn't working for large
parts of teh world.
And all that while the opportunity for us to help you on the data
consumption is just broken.
Sad.
Note, strategically, I think that mozilla needs to support developing o
the web, and the github editor isn't it. It'll be web-based IDEs, which
require good tooling and hosting to be on the same infrastructure.

*Non-User Repos*
There are too many non-user repos. I'm not convinced we should host
ash, oak, other project branches internally. I think we should focus on
mission-critical repos only. There should be less than a dozen of those.
I would like to stop hosting non-mission-critical repositories by end of
Q2.
This is a soft target. I don't have a concrete plan here. I'd like to
start experimenting with moving project branches elsewhere and see where
that takes us.
*What my hg repo needs X/Y that 3rd-party services do not provide?*
If you have a good reason to use a feature not supported by
github/bitbucket, we should continue hosting your repo at Mozilla.
*Why Not Move Everything to Github/Bitbucket/etc?*
Mozilla prefers to keep repositories public by-default. This does not
fit Github's business model which is built around private repos.
Github's free service does not provide any availability guarantee.
There is also a problem of github not supporting hg.
I'm not completely sure why we can't move everything to bitbucket. Some
of it is to do with anecdotal evidence of robustness problems. Some of
it is lack of hooks (sans post-receive POSTs).Additionally, as with
Github there is no availability guarantee.
Hosting arbitrary Moz-related hg repositories does not make strategic
sense. We should do the absolute minimum(eg http://bke.ro/?p=380)
required to keep Firefox shipping smoothly and focus our efforts on
making Firefox better.
