Fedora moving from Pagure to Forgejo

Summary

After a full year of preparation, the Community Linux Engineering (CLE) team is excited to announce that Fedora Forge, powered by Forgejo, is ready for use! We are proud of this modern Open Source platform and what it means for the future of Fedora Infrastructure. While pagure.io has been a vital part of our community for many years, the time has come to retire our homegrown forge and transition to this powerful new tool. The final cutover is planned for Flock to Fedora 2026. We strongly encourage teams to migrate their projects well before the conference to ensure a smooth transition. The pagure.io migration is only the first step in a broader infrastructure modernization effort. By the 2027 Fedora 46 release, we plan to retire all remaining Pagure instances across the project, including the package source repositories on src.fedoraproject.org. Getting familiar with Fedora Forge now will help ensure your team is ready as the rest of the Fedora ecosystem transitions. pagure.io users, it is time to migrate! If you own a project at pagure.io, you must migrate out of it before June 2026. We’ve prepared a Migration Guide.
