LXD outs top maintainers

interesting

original team all going to a fork probably means this'll be an owncloud/nextcloud situation where one just straight up supercedes the other

floti cool avatar floti

it's kinda what happened with Gogs/Gitea, right? (it doesn't seem like Forgejo is going to ever take off, either, btw...)

Incus removing a bunch of Canonical garbage (like snap as a distribution system, their weird kernel patches, etc) is honestly interesting, that might make it more popular than before for that single reason

Raw-dogging generic LXC here. Kind of a pain but not terrible.

zero cannot recommend that one tbqh family

Hélène I think it's kind of the converse.
Incus has all of the original LXD team.
. . . so it's closer to feeling like LXD is the fork, in some ways.

I kinda hoped forgejo would go somewhere a bit faster than this. I ditched gitea for gogs but gogs admittedly is kinda meh and I might as well just install cgit or something. Preferably I'd make a setup like I have with fossil where I can just put my repos in my home directory on the server and have them automagically be available to the web.

「 Fristi 」 what if just fossil :^)

toast I do use git a lot still though, the world is just much more git than it is fossil 🤷

ilja niiiiiice! gonna wait for fedora to start packaging it, should probably happen quite soon!

toast

ilja that’s great! A lot of the removal notices are also filled with :^) for me. Remember when Candid was gonna be the future of online authentication?

It is now packaged in fedora (in copr).
By none other than...
BIG POD

and the story continues. According to Stéphane, Canonical changed the LXD license to AGPLv3 with CLA (afaict giving Caniconal the rights to relicense the new contributions under any license they wish).

article on Stéphane's website: https://stgraber.org/2023/12/12/lxd-now-re-licensed-and-under-a-cla/
commit where it happened: https://github.com/canonical/lxd/pull/12663/files
CLA for individuals (found in the faq): https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/ff2478d1-Canonical-HA-CLA-ANY-I_v1.2.pdf

I like agpl, but cla always makes me a bit wary. I guess the biggest result of this, as Stéphane notes, is that Incus wont be incorporating new LXD changes, and probably not the other way around either.

Just another example of strong copyleft licenses being used to bolster copyright to the advantage of “copyright holders” over people actually making works, really.
