VLC migration to GitLab

Background

VideoLAN is a non-profit organization, developing multimedia applications, like VLC, x264 or dav1d.

VideoLAN has partially moved some projects to its own Gitlab instance, like for VLC/Android or VLC/iOS.

VideoLAN has mandatory self-hosting requirements.

Goals

The main goals for this migration are:

• simplify contributions for external users,
• single login/application for all coding tasks, from bugs to reviews, to release,
• less maintenance

VideoLAN would like to kill:

• trac (bugtracker)
• patchwork (patch tracking)
• wiki
• gitosis (git user management)
• git webview
• jenkins (CI)
• our documentation

and move all this to Gitlab
