[llvm-dev] Phabricator Creator Pulling the Plug

[Chris Tetreault via llvm-dev]

As I, and others have noticed, it seems that as of today, there’s some certificate issue with arcanist. (See: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-September/153019.html) The fix seems simple, and a PR is up, but looking through the PR activity, it seems that the PR will not be accepted because Phabricator is no longer being maintained. It seems that arc has become the first casualty of the discontinuation of maintenance of phabricator.

I know that arc is not universally used, but I think it’s a serious blow to many people’s workflows. I think that MyDeveloperDay’s question might have just become a bit more urgent.

I suppose in the short-term, we could fork the phabricator repos in order to fix little issues like this. Alternately, we should probably stop recommending arcanist (unless we want to provide instructions on how to fix any breakages that come along).

Thanks,
   Chris Tetreault

I'm a massive fan of Phabricator, and I know there is often lots of contentious discussion about its relative merits vs github,

But unless I missed this, was there any discussion regarding the recent "Winding Down" announcement of Phabricator? and what it might mean for us in LLVM

See:

Personally I'm excited by the concept of a community driven replacement ( https://we.phorge.it/) .
epriestley did a truly amazing job, it wasn't open to public contributions. Perhaps more open development could lead to closing some of the github gaps that were of concern.
