Merging and updating projects

+1 for this idea.

isemail and is_email() are the same project too. Would like to merge them if possible.

Yes, some automated way to clean up duplicates would be nice. For now, I have a script I can use -- it's a bit finicky, and not quite ready for website deploy.

@joe_walker, I've merged these two projects together.

@dominicsayers, which project would you like to keep? They look pretty identical except for the name in the URL.

Hi Robin,

I would like the master project to be is_email() - https://www.ohloh.net/p/isemail

I don't know where the other came from - presumably there is some sort of discovery process?

Thanks for your help.

This is possibly the most confusing case of duplicate projects on Ohloh yet :-).

  1. one project has the unique ID is_email and the title isemail
  2. the other has unique ID isemail and the title is_email()

This flip/flop of mismatched underscores in the names and titles is an absolutely awesome source of confusion, especially since it looks you've been editing both projects, and appear to have changed the unique ID of at least one of them at one point :-).

I'm keeping https://www.ohloh.net/p/isemail, as you asked, and because its unique ID matches the unique ID on Google, so our data crawler will be able to track it properly.

Whew!

Thanks,
Robin

Sorry if I contributed to the confusion :-)

It looks like it's all as I would want it now. Thanks for your help

Hi,

there is also 3 versions of my project Octopussy on ohloh:

Can you remove the last 2 please ?

sebthebert over 16 years ago
 

Hi sebthebert,

I've deleted the duplicates.

Robin Luckey over 16 years ago
 

Hi Robin,

It seems your removing didn't work...

I can always see the 3 versions:
https://www.ohloh.net/search?q=octopussy

sebthebert over 16 years ago
 

Ugh, this is a retarded Ohloh bug unrelated to Octopussy.

Our project search is returning deleted projects. I'll see if we can get that fixed pronto.

Robin Luckey over 16 years ago
 

I believe I've just fixed this problem (whereby 'deleting' a project will remove it from the search index).

Please merge mesa and mesa3d as well, they are the same project from the same git repo AFAICS.

Of course nice to get double karma whore points, but I guess it is not fair :)

It seems like mesa is the one to keep, it was made first and has the more complete profile.

Tormod Volden over 16 years ago
 

Hi Tormod,

Yes, mesa3d was added by our web crawler. I've deleted it, and kept mesa.

This shouldn't affect your karma whore points -- our system is pretty good about avoiding duplicate kudos. :-)

These entries are also the same project:

Open Computers and Software Inventory

OCS Inventory

The first one is the more popular but the second get the svn commit notification :-/

Can you also merge https://www.ohloh.net/p/rur-ple and https://www.ohloh.net/p/322486 please (keep the nice URL one).

Thanks.

BLUG_Fred over 15 years ago
 

Done.

Robin Luckey over 15 years ago
 

Great, that was fast! Thanks a lot.

BLUG_Fred over 15 years ago
 

Could you merge https://www.ohloh.net/p/55768 and https://www.ohloh.net/p/gnome-do, keeping the one with the nice URL?

Thanks.

RAOF over 15 years ago
 

Hi raof,

I've deleted project 55768. Let me know if there's anything else that needs tweaking.

Robin Luckey over 15 years ago
 

Could you also please merge
https://www.ohloh.net/p/mmapper
https://www.ohloh.net/p/12692

and keep the nice URL if possible?

Thanks!

Kalev Lember about 15 years ago
 

These two are the same project:
https://www.ohloh.net/p/fckeditor
https://www.ohloh.net/p/ckeditor

A merge would be nice.

Thanks!

I found it very interesting to read I would love to see you write more on this topic.

https://www.ohloh.net/p/libbluray and https://www.ohloh.net/p/libblueray are the same project and the libblueray should be deleted.

Thanks
