Hi there,
although I don't think there is a strong mandate -or policy- to migrate everything to gitlab just yet, we already have a few repos here and there. And there is agreement that gitlab in general is beneficial for us and we should be slowly paying more attention to it as we go.
Naming can be hard, and organizing stuff based on naming can also be hard. But we already have some kind of "tree" on gitlab. Let me try to brain dump the mental image I have, and feel free to share / discuss as required.
Main entry point: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud
The repos/cloud group is our main "directory". Everything that resembles something that WMCS + collabs would maintain as part of the base services+infra we have should be there. Explicitly excluded are user-controlled stuff, like Toolforge tool source code etc.
Remember, being under /repos/ gives us some additional features (like trusted CI runners) and even more /repos/cloud/ already contains some membership that will be inherited by all child repos.
This group doesn't contain any direct repository, but instead several subgroups. The only exception is a "wikistats"[1] repo that I'll be requesting Daniel Zahn to relocate elsewhere.
Child subgroup: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud/toolforge Everything Toolforge, components for k8s, etc. The only "official" repo here is https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud/toolforge/ingress-nginx and the rest are placeholder/tests
Child subgroup: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud/cicd See https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/cloud-admin@lists.wikimedia.org/...
Child subgroup: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud/deb I just created this the other day to store .deb packaging repos. Created the first here https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud/deb/pkg-prometheus-openstack-export...
I guess we could introduce other subgroups as we go, imagine for example:
* /repos/cloud/vps/ * /repos/cloud/paws/ * /repos/cloud/quarry/ */ repos/cloud/you_name_it/
Comments welcome.
regards.
