Cacti Group Plugins Repository
Hoping the forum mods can do something about this. The Cacti Group maintains a 'plugins' repository that appears not to be captured by ohloh. Each directory within the Plugin repository is a separate project. For example:
svn://svn.cacti.net/cacti_plugins/mactrack
is a Project Called 'MacTrack', managed by me as is as large if not larger than Cacti itself.
Can Ohloh capture this information and recognize the authors as having contributed to these various projects?
Regards,

I'll take a part of that back. The plugins repository is being scanned. However, every 'base' directory should be a separate project IMHO.
Larry,
If you want to do this it will take registering each plugin as a separate project here. Perhaps you can enlist each plugin originator to register their own project and don't forget to ask them to enter themselves as the project manager. It all depends how many plugins you are talking about...
I had trouble looking in the cacti_plugins directory today. I couldn't estimate the size of the job you are proposing. Let me know.
Thanks!
Ok, that makes sense. Presently there are approximately 30 plugins. I'll talk to the other devs and see if it's worth the effort.
On another topic. The commit log for me only goes back to when we migrated from CVS to SVN circa 2006. But if you pull the SVN logs, you can see the commit's from those dates circa 2002. Is there a reason that the other commit's are not showing?
Larry
Larry,
Three issues: First, if the cacti_plugins directory is invisible to me today, it may cause an update to fail within 24-48 hours. Let me know if I've missed anything or if I've gotten the path wrong etc.
Second, 30 plugins is not too bad. You could do that manually or create a script to make those projects by rote. You can, of course, make yourself the manager of them if you want. You'll need to think about what you'll do when new plugins are added.
Third, we should be picking up the dates properly, but there has been some discussion over whether we are using the creation date or the last-modified date (I think...). That should be the same for all repos that haven't been moved but for conversions, that could spell trouble. Will research this and find out if a fix is in the offing.
Thanks!
The viewvc is here: http://svn.cacti.net/viewvc/?root=Plugins. Pretty sure it's:
svn://svn.cacti.net/cacti_plugins
