Hi everyone, It appears Wine GitWeb <https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=shortlog> page is broken since Monday, returning a 403 Forbidden error. I know there is also the GitLab version <https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commits/master> but I prefer the old one. Can someone have a look and fix the (permission) issue? Thanks in advance, Regards
Hi, Quoting from winehackers IRC:
<zhiyi> https://source.winehq.org/git/ shows forbidden to me, is this expected? <zf> zhiyi, yes, it's been discontinued <zhiyi> oh, okay. <zf> there wasn't an announcement, but basically, gitweb is poorly optimized on the server side and bots were causing a lot of load
So it seems deprecated now. Thanks, Zhiyi On 7/18/24 04:11, M. GOUJON wrote:

Since it seems to be intentional, and I'm not a big fan of certain things regarding gitlab myself (infinite scroll, JavaScript requirement, ...), I'll probably start making more use of a local clone for what I used the gitweb instance for. Additionally, I was informed/reminded of 'git instaweb', which will offer a rather similar, if not identical experience while using a local clone, which will also be free of any connection issues (if the clone is acceptably up to date that is). :]
FWIW, github keeps many automated mirrors of open-source projects: https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine On Thursday 18 July 2024 at 11:25:10 BST, Jimi Huotari <chiitoo(a)gentoo.org> wrote: On Wed, 17 Jul 2024 22:11:02 +0200 "M. GOUJON" <ale.goujon(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Unfortunately, github has also been increasingly reliant on javascript and became very sluggish on less mainstream browsers, but it's still better than gitlab's UI. gitweb was just on another level of convenience for me. Sad moment. On 18/07/2024 19:26, Hin-Tak Leung wrote:

Yeah, I'm also sad about this. gitweb was fast, it didn't have visual clutter, it was able to render several times as many commits as gitlab or github, it had a lot more intuitive UI and more links in convenient places... Brendan suggested this off-list, but if gitweb is badly optimized on the server side, could we try cgit instead? It has a similarly nice experience to gitweb and might be more efficient. --Zeb
If someone wants to patch it so it doesn't eat up 100% cpu on all cores we could potentially put it back online. I also worry how it shells out to the command line git a bit too much. When the web server starts hitting 100 load average for extended periods I tend to notice. As I stands now, I don't feel it is a safe tool to put up on a public website. Way too easy to DDOS with it.
