Why
Why? Why self-host all your own infrastructure? We tried not to, at the very beginning of the project. We agreed that Github-style code review wasn't really fit for our kind of project, and wanted to use Gerrit for code review. We started setting up Gerrithub ...

Code of Conduct
Everyone in the Lix community is expected to abide by the Lix Community Standards.
Obliterating history from Git
To obliterate history from the Git repo means removing it from three different sources: Gerrit, Forgejo, and GitHub. A tool has been written, called gerrit-rewrite-branch, to rewrite Gerrit history completely, including the meta on past CLs. To use it, build i...
Community Standards

How do permissions work?
In an ideal world, all permissions are managed directly in Keycloak and propagated down to downstream systems automatically. We mostly live in that world. We would also like more parts of profiles to propagate from Keycloak into downstream systems (see changin...

RISC-V support
Goal: install lix on a riscv64-linux system The target is a DevTerm R-01, so it's an AllWinner D1 RISC-V processor @ 1GHz, with 1GB of memory and 32GB of microSD. We can't run the Lix installer without building it, because there's no canned build for it. So le...
Branches
The Lix repository contains multiple releases in parallel. The branches work as follows: main. This contains major tags (except for 2.90 because of an early branch-off. We might fix that manually?), and is for the next major version of the software. This is ...
Release names
Release names are the names of frozen desserts. There's a list on Wikipedia of frozen desserts, but of course, others can be added. The purpose of release names is that they are cute, and they are not necessarily picked for any reason. Used release names: 2.9...
