Darn - i'll try watching it more closely.

ensonic, it looks like you are suffering from the same bug that Kiba turned up yesterday: http://www.ohloh.net/forums/10/topics/207 Your license declarations are interrupted by a line break and a ... [More] '*' character in the middle of the license name, and this is causing our parser to fail to recognize the license name. [Less]

Thanks, hope that will get fixed soon.

Actually, if you were able to interconnect projects with a series of meaningful relationships: dependencies, concurrent projects, fork projects, etc., you could create a relationship map that would ... [More] probably be quite useful. Ex. if users have contributed this information, someone looking for information on a project that appears to be dead could find links to active forks. [Less]

Hi Jason, There's something I don't get in your policy. When you say If a project has migrated repositories and did not backport their old history into the newer repository what is that supposed ... [More] to mean? How a project that has migrated its code repository could not backport code to the newer ? I'm probably missing something due to my english understanding of backport, sorry. Could you please rephrase this? My case is simple: I administrate the Mediboard project. We have migrated from a CVS to a SVN repository for well known reasons, with the exact same code. Shouldn't I be enlisting the older CVS rep on Ohloh to reflect the real Mediboard history? Thanks in advance for your clues. [Less]

Maybe it would be useful not to count mere changes in whitespace as changed lines, if you're not already doing that. At least diff has several options to ignore empty lines and changes in whitespace ... [More] (indentation and things like that) Edit: never mind, just read indentation changes are already ignored. Sorry for the noise! [Less]

Ah, I see; thanks for the explanation. .h files going to C/C++ both for Adium itself and for the large number of various header files for utilized frameworks and libraries, makes sense in terms of ... [More] the stats. What's the advantage of including .h files at all? I'd vote just exclude .h entirely for the language analysis -- besides structure definitions, .h files are usually duplicative of the .c/.m's contents, anyways. [Less]

Well, the unflattering answer is that the database records for project 3817 have become corrupted. We had a database failure a month ago, and we are still discovering some broken projects. Since we ... [More] already have a healthy duplicate of this project, the right answer seems to be to just delete 3817. [Less]

Once I saw the secret, I smacked my head and said, Of course! Very cool. I'm sure this will come in handy. Thanks!

Great question! Ohloh originated out of the need to gain insight into open source projects. We therefore encourage anyone to add projects they're interested in - whether they contribute to them or ... [More] not. Incidentally, if any project owner or contributor has issues with our reports we encourage them to contact us so we can address them. -jay [Less]
