Gentoo now has a presence on Codeberg, and contributions can be submitted for the Gentoo repository mirror at https://codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo as an alternative to GitHub. Eventually also other git repositories will become available under the Codeberg Gentoo organization. This is part of the gradual mirror migration away from GitHub, as already mentioned in the 2025 end-of-year review. Codeberg is a site based on Forgejo, maintained by a dedicated non-profit organization, and located in Berlin, Germany. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this move possible!
These mirrors are for convenience for contribution and we continue to host our own repositories, just like we did while using GitHub mirrors for ease of contribution too.
I only use Gentoo during the cold periods to keep my feet warm. /s
To be serious: I hope Codeberg is able to keep up with the increased traffic and computing power required with the influx of the new projects.
If NixOS should decide to switch the nixpkgs repo, this would mean serious business:
I highly doubt that Codeberg would be a valid alternative platform in terms of storage, CI/CD capabilities or raw computing power.
