Requirments for alternative git interfaces

[rstub]

What would be the requirements for an alternative git interface like https://codeberg.org to be supported in addition to GitHub and GitLab?

I think this is more a r-universe question than a r-multiverse question: AFAIK r-multiverse doesn't limit that.
I think that in principle any git repository can work with r-universe (the Bioconductor project hosted at git.bioconductor.org works with r-universe too).
Correction: it needs to have something to detect that a package is released

Thanks. The need for releases makes sense indeed. Codeberg (sorry for the typo ...) uses Forgejo (a clone of Gitea) which for example provides a REST API to query releases, c.f. https://codeberg.org/api/swagger#/repository/repoListReleases. Would that help?

I agree with @llrs: it's mostly an R-universe issue, but also the platform needs to support full releases (rather than just tags). Along those lines, it would have been nice to support Bitbucket, but they only offer Git tags.

Thanks, I have now found r-universe-org/help#379 were the analogous question for GitLab has been discussed.
