Removed language still shows in the code analysis with line count of 0
Hello,
I just discovered Ohloh and decided to join it.
In the grafx2 project, we removed some parts of the code and there is no more shellscripts or dos batch. However, these two languages are still shown in the language list on the code analysis page, with a line count of 0.
Can't they be removed ?
See the code analysis page : https://www.ohloh.net/p/grafx2/analyses/latest
Hi PulkoMandy,
That's an artifact of how our historical analysis engine works. There's a lot of work that goes into getting that 0.
I suppose the lines with net total 0 could be suppressed from the final output.... :-)
Maybe it is interesting to know that some language was used at some point in the project and was dropped since. But displaying it with a total line count of 0 feels quite strange to me :)
Maybe removing them from Lines of Code By Language
and add Formerly used languages
can be a solution. That would feel right, as ohloh statistics are also about the evolution of the project over time.
Well, just a display problem anyway, it won't disturb anything. But i can imagine a project with a long history of supporting various languages (for example a library with headers for multiple things) could grow a pretty big list of languages with all the old ones being at 0 lines :)
Hello,
I checked the project page of Grafx2 today and it seems it went worse, we still get the 0-lines count for removed languages (shell script, dos batch), but we also get -3 lines of XML ! What hapenned here ? The only thing using xml in our project are the XCode files for building under Mac OS X.
Having a negative line count feels like a real bug, however :)
