Hi,

Not a really big deal but I used to look at the kde-commits email archive or look at certain projects' activity on projects.kde.org to see if I need to recompile something.

Now both these things are empty and have been since about May. Any idea what's going on?

I love KDE Commit-Digest

projects.kde.org is definitely not empty...
It works as ever.
And there's also quickgit.kde.org, which is probably better suited for your purpose.

Regarding kde-commits: I think only the archive is empty. If you subscribe to the mailing list, you'd probably do get emails for every commit.

Yeah, but there hasn't been a new issue for a while either. The latest one is from November.

Hi,

At long last I have found osdir.com/ml/kde-commits/ and from this I found quickqit.kde.org so problem solved.


It's weird if projects.kde.org works for others because for me it shows no activity in any project since April.

Cheers,

P

Hm, now that you mention that, it seems you're right.

Although I'm thinking that I did see current commits when I last looked some days ago (or is it longer?)...

That is because, due to the Qt5 port, most commits happen in other branches than master. The number of commits is as high as before, for some projects even higher, it is just hard to keep up the commit digest if it doesn't happen in master.
Once the Qt5 port of most projects is over, those will be moved from the frameworks branches to master, it just takes some time.

So, i essence, if you want to monitor the projects.kde.org, check out the frameworks branches

That's what I thought too at first.

But even for projects that do regularly commit to master, the last changes shown are from April.
See here e.g.:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/w ... /revisions
(compare with http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kwin.git&a=s ... 3a4dd4f470 )

Or any of the Frameworks...

Try looking at this instead: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/w ... repository

Many folders have changed, and the folder you were looking at is for KDE4, you need to explore differently. I know, it is a bit surprising, but instead of just using the branch "frameworks" for everything, the workspace has just made a new repository tree for everything related to Qt5 and Plasma5.

There were quite some discussions on the kde-devel and kde-core-devel mailing lists over a year ago regarding the reorganisation of the source tree.

I don't think so.
I clicked on "Show all revisions" at the bottom of the page that you mention.
And the URL would indicate that this are all revisions of the master branch, no?

I know about the reorganisation of the source tree.

But this is the new kwin repo. kwin didn't even have its own git repo in KDE4, it was part of "KDE Workspace". And it definitely was ported to Qt5/Frameworks5 _before_ April 2015...
And what about the Frameworks? This one e.g.?
https://projects.kde.org/projects/frame ... /revisions

Don't look at the revisions, look at the source tree itself, there were several commits in the last week.
As for the KIO framworks, why do you expect to see many changes in there? The frameworks work is mostly done, you should look at individual projects, like Plasma, for example, or the plasma sub-repositories.

If you really want to follow a project, you can tick a box and get all the commit messages in your inbox

I know that.

But the point is that the "Revisions" page did show the latest commits until recently, and now it only shows commits up to April 2015.
That's the thing we are talking about. I am at least, but I think the OP means the same.

Something seems to not work correctly there any more at the moment. Maybe this got deprecated/disabled (or whatever) on purpose, no idea.
But don't tell me that's because other branches than master are used for development, or because I'm looking at a "KDE4 folder".

And also, as mentioned by the OP, some mailinglist archives are just empty since a few months, like kde-commits, kde-core-devel, kwin, and kdepim (and more).
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-commits/
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-core-devel/
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-pim/
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kwin/

Or am I looking at the wrong folder there too?
And please don't tell me there really have not been any mails to those lists yet.

What are you talking about?
The Frameworks are still continually developed and changed.
Here's the same kio repo on quickgit.kde.org, there were a few changes since April...
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kio.git

I know.
But that doesn't change the problem we are discussing.

Then please ask the sysadmins what is going on, they are handling all the servers whrere these things are hosted.

I've been asked to comment here

In regards to KDE Projects (projects.kde.org) that site is in the process of being wound down. The only reason it is still online is because certain infrastructural components depend on it being available for now. We will be replacing it with a new SCM Infrastructure, two alternatives of which - Phabricator and Gerrit - are currently being evaluated. Repositories on there won't be updating themselves as the background routine which kept them up to date was extremely server resource intensive - so we had to deactivate it. Please use quickgit.kde.org (which is up to date) to check on activity within a repository.

As for mail archives - previously these had been provided by an outside provider, MARC.info. Sysadmin was asked by the KDE e.V. Board to prefer our own archives however due to takedown requests we had been receiving from various people which we are required to comply with under German law. Unfortunately due to the nature of how this had to be done we also needed to deactivate our redirects which previously sent people from mail.kde.org to lists.kde.org. As a result of this quite a few lists are broken as the list moderators never enabled archiving for those lists (likely due to historical hardware limitations which affected KDE - which are no longer a problem). At some point Sysadmin will have to sweep through all our lists (or at least the major ones) and gather archives for them, plus enable our own archiving systems.

I've now made some adjustments to the redirector on lists.kde.org which should help send users to usable archives though. Unfortunately not much can be done about the mail.kde.org links provided by Mailman.

Thanks for the explanations!
