Description Robert Wohlrab 2008-12-23 19:36:15 UTC

Some software projects host their release files on ohloh. It seems to be a good idea to add support for mirror://ohloh/ for ebuilds.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Could you give examples of projects in the official tree which are hosted on Ohloh?

Comment 2 Panagiotis Christopoulos (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

(chroot-lisp-32-stable) gaia / # find /usr/portage/ -name "*.ebuild" -exec grep -H -i ohloh '{}' \;
(chroot-lisp-32-stable) gaia / #

Also, the only entry we've got in bugzilla about ohloh is bug #209908. Thanks for reporting this, but I will resolve it as LATER. If you have serious examples of why we should add a mirror://ohloh ,please reopen, giving us URLs of tarballs etc.

Ok, the problem are possible new ebuilds which only host their files on ohloh. Example is mereo.
Projects which host files on ohloh, but have also other mirrors are:
- phpBB
- FileZilla
- Samba
- Paludis
- Gnash
- MESS
- ...

add ohloh to mirrors

phpBB would be able to add a mirror by specifying:
mirror://ohloh/p/phpbb/${P}.tar.bz2
