Almost every single github hosted project needs an update

It seems like ohloh stops tracking projects after a single failure.

A great deal of projects hosted at github seem to be in a state of failed 3 months ago and the like.

Maybe retries would be a good idea?

Ohloh tries to update a project several times over a period of several weeks before giving up.

Only in the case of a crash or a new, unknown error case do we give up immediately.

I'll look around for Github failures, but if you can give me a link to the particular ones you care about that would be helpful. They may all be failing for a consistent reason.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi raggi,

Our report for Rake was out of data because the old Subversion repository was still enlisted at Ohloh, and it can no longer be reached. I've removed the old Subversion enlistment, and the Rake project should now update soon.

The Rails repository appears to have been unfortunately rebased at some point, which makes an incremental pull impossible. I've started a clean clone and full re-analysis. This might take a day or so -- I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks,
Robin

Ah, i think some of the ruby folks rebase way too much. That could explain a lot.

Would removing and adding the enlistment recover such a situation?

Sorry to bother further robin, but would you mind poking the Ruby/EventMachine project for me aswell.

Thanks.
