Changes

==Project News and Details======Status====* Waiting I now have some time to see about a license for fisheyeresume work on the project. This time I will manage my time more wisely* OpenGrok has rudimentary (ie a kludge) support for branching<strike>I have too many assignments. I need to do work on them, but I should have more free time during the Christmas break.</strike>

====Candidates==========Serious Candidates====Options==* Help with [http://lxr.mozilla.org/ LXR]/[http://landfill.mozilla.org/mxr-test/ MXR]/[http://www.mozilla.org/bonsai.html Bonsai] development.* Make a sort- Not working on setting one up because there is already of branch respectful version of [[OpenGrok]] but this would be a very shoddy implementation that doesn't really do what it should* Setup oneOpenGrok per active branch of the Mozilla Project, this would have no version history whatsoever, apart from file dates.* [Re]write major portions of how [[OpenGrok]] - As deals with history and changesets and the likes, this is becoming my main focus, I am breaking it out into its own pagepersonal preference.* Try to fit [http://www.cenqua.com/fisheye/index.html Fisheye] - Commercial Solution that is free (as in beer) for open source projects.======Others======* [http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/horus Horus] - Not really what is neededinto the current development model, but its it seems this might be more like finding a nice interface problem for programming students own codea solution. I will This is a very very powerful tool, but it is not be actively doing anything really like LXR or OpenGrok, it is more useful to it.* [http:analyze CVS//sourceforgeSVN histories more than search for functions, files, definitions and the likes.net/projects/sourcenav/ Sourcenav] - investigating this project* [http://gonzui Fisheye is also '''extremely''' slow.sourceforge Within my lan, it takes a long time to do any queries, and over the internet it is impossible.net Gonzui] - Fairly I don't know why, especially since OpenGrok uses the same basic technologies. (10 minutes plus for one page load on second examination* [http://google.com/codesearch Google Code Search] - No way to specify a lan connection, in its defence, it is still indexing the Mozilla project onlycode)

====LinksWhy I like OpenGrok====Apart from the fact that it does not support branches, this is in my opinion the perfect tool. It is fast, open souce and most importantly, it makes really easy to navigate, well thought out pages that just work. Because of the way OpenSolaris does file versions for their code, they don't use branches at all. OpenSolaris currently uses a linear method of file versioning, they don't use branches, they use versions as a sory of branch, basically the idea that Office 12 is the "2007 branch" and Office 11 is the "2003 branch". Mozilla doesn't do this, so it would be nessecary to implement this feature. Luckily, however, OpenGrok is very modularized and atomic in nature. If you go to the OpenGrok page, you can get a more complete explanation, but the basic jist of it is that there are many "Guru's", each with a task. The files are first read by the History Guru who looks at the file and decides what type of versioning the file uses. Once the versions have been analyzed, they are passed on to the file analyzer guru who then decides what type of file it is, and passes it on to a file type analyzer. The allows for portions of the code to be changed without changing the whole system, so if we wanted to be able to do special things with XUL/XPCOM as far as how to handle its symbols, we would write one module which is not dependent at all on any other file analyzer. The same way, if Mozilla switchs to SVN, we would just port the branching support to SVN. On the chances that Mozilla switches to something other than CVS or SVN, a HistoryGuru could be written for that type of versioning history. The OpenGrok project is under the [http://www.sun.com/cddl/ CDDL] which [http://www.sun.com/cddl/CDDL_MPL_redline.pdf derives from the MPL 1.1] In closing, I really like the OpenGrok project because it is '''very''' fast, '''very''' powerful and '''VERY''' modular! ==Links==
