Forums : Technical Issue Help
Dear Open Hub Users,
We’re excited to announce that we will be moving the Open Hub Forum to
https://community.blackduck.com/s/black-duck-open-hub.
Beginning immediately, users can head over,
register,
get technical help and discuss issue pertinent to the Open Hub. Registered users can also subscribe to Open Hub announcements here.
On May 1, 2020, we will be freezing https://www.openhub.net/forums and users will not be able to create new discussions. If you have any questions and concerns, please email us at

wrong comitter and language identification
Why are [email protected] and [email protected] counted as different committers? AFAIK mail adresses are case insensitive by definition.
Another problem: OHLO claims that the project Frege is mostly written in Java
when Java actually is but a tiny part and the major part is written in Frege. On closer inspection I see that source code in *.fr files is not at all recognized, though lexically and syntactically it should be recognized as Haskell.
This makes me wonder how language detection actually works? Do you look at file extensions, perhaps?
Ingo,
Our code for language detection is open for public inspection at https://github.com/blackducksw/ohcount We solicit patches for inclusion back into our production servers. Please take a look and see if you or someone you know can add the necessary code to detect Frege source code or suggest a fix if the code we have so far is failing.
Thanks!
As far as I can see you have sort of mapping from file extensions to languages and based on that there runs a detector that tells apart comments and code. (But maybe I am not that good at deciphering a conglomerate of C and ruby :)
The easiest fix that would work for me would be if files with extension fr
would be checked for Haskell code. I don't mind if frege code is counted as haskell, it is not easily distinguishable anyway. But currently, it's counted not at all.
I wouldn't mind so much about this issue, but I noticed that people think I am lying when I say that the frege compiler is written in frege itself. Hence, I need either the claim mostly written in Java
corrected or the whole project not be listed at OHLO at all.
Ingo,
I will pass on your request. We have a sprint soon that will address issues with ohcount and I hope they can consider your request.
Thanks!
P.S. I have seen the reluctance for people to accept that a compiler is written in the language it compiles. There ARE examples out there if they care to look. Best of luck!
