The svn enlistement for OpenOffice.org failed.

Any idea what we can do?

Thanks

Hi stx12,

We had a server connection problem. I've restarted the download.

I'll warn you that with 187,000 revisions, this is going to take a while for Ohloh to download -- probably a couple of weeks.

I'll keep an eye on it until it goes through.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi,

Just out of curiosity, which svn command is / are used?

Thanks, Stefan

In this case, we use the following:

svn info # to determine whether our code is up-to-date or not
svn log --verbose --stop-on-copy # to get the list of commits
svn checkout # called once for every revision to get the code

It's brute-force, and it's slow, but it works. :-)

We do also have an alternate importer that uses svnsync to clone the entire repository locally. This is usually much, much faster, if the repository itself is mostly the code we care about (/trunk in this case) and does not contain vast amounts of other projects or branches. We could give that a try if you think it's appropriate.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi,

I just read the posting about development in branches. The OpenOffice.org repository moved in October 2008 from CVS to SVN and the most interesting area is /cws
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/cws/
So I removed /trunk and added /cws

You might want to consider a full copy to come to results in a reasonable timeframe.

Thanks, Stefan
