Using Open HUB without exposing source-code
I'd like to use the code metrics Open HUB offers on a closed source project (non-commercial if that matters).
Is it possible to accomplish that without exposing the source-code in public?
The project in question is tracked with Git.
Mr. Hedgehog,
It would be virtually impossible to analyze the project without exposing the address of the repository. It may be somewhat invisible if there are two or more enlistments but anybody with an API key can see all the enlistments clearly.
You can get some of the benefits of our analyses (but, I expect, not all) if you were to take the code we provide at https:///github.com/blackducksw in the ohcount and ohloh_scm repositories and run that privately against your code.
Best of luck!
I'm already using ohcount manually but the data over time is lacking sadly.
Why would you recommend ohloh_scm for that purpose?
I open-sourced the included plugins of my application and am tracking this now with openhub :)
It's only a small portion of the original code but better than nothing I guess.
Mr. Hedgehog,
Only suggested ohloh_scm since it would allow you to schedule updates at whatever interval you wanted since there is where the incremental update technology lives. I am sad that we can't offer more secure analysis but it was designed as an open-source showcase and many of the design decisions were cast in stone with that presumption.
Thanks!
