QElectroTech not updating

Hi,

Enlistment for QElectroTech failed one month ago and it seems it doesn't update anymore.

Could someone take a look?

Thanks.

Guillaume,

Rescheduled the hung update which finished OK (12 added commits). Analysis page is now at May 07 2012 and last commit is at 2012-05-07 (about 6 hours ago).

Please let me know here if the project stops updating again.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks to both of you for the update. Just a few questions regarding the latest update:

Is there any way to know where the 11 lines detected as C language come from?

More important, the repository contains a bunch of XML files with unusual file extensions (.qet, .elmt, .titleblock): is there any way to count these as XML contributions?

Thanks in advance.

xavierg,

I just tried it locally and turns out that the file, sources/titleblock/dimension.h is being detected as a C file. This seems to be a bug in Ohloh's language detector / line counter. We'll look into it.

By the way, the language detector / line counter, ohcount, is open source - https://github.com/blackducksw/ohcount. If you wanted to give it a try, it compiles to a Linux binary that can be run stand-alone.

On your second question, are these extensions well-known? We don't want to add file extensions as a certain language if they are not well-known.

Thanks,
Abhay

Hello Abhay,

The .h file you mention could indeed look like pure C if it were not using namespaces and default arguments.

The extensions I provided are not well-known, they're specific to the QElectroTech project and I do not expect you to add them to ohcount. I was wondering whether there is some kind of heuristic beyond filename analysis. I'll check the ohcount code later, but I guess the lack of XML declaration could be an explanation.

Thanks for your help.
