I’ve seen some comments about how “gitlab bad” or whatnot, why do people prefer Codeberg over GitLab?

    I assume that’s to build from source.

    The times I’ve installed GitLab it’s been a case of dnf install https://.... The rest gets dragged in automatically.

      Well, this way they could install dependencies anyway just automatically, so you don’t see them unless you read before accepting the installation. I still can read this:

      Install and configure the necessary dependencies
      sudo yum install -y curl policycoreutils-python openssh-server perl

      And then:

      Add the GitLab package repository and install the package
      curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

      So they do some magic here, the script just installs the repository, so I can’t see exactly any dependency they are currently using.
