Dear OpenACS developer community,
We’ve added a new page that shows recent commits across all repositories in the openacs GitHub organization – similar in spirit to the old CVS/Fisheye “Recent Changes” view.
The page:
- Aggregates commits from all OpenACS GitHub repositories
- Includes all branches for these repositories
- Groups entries by commit date (author time)
- Shows repository/branch, author, and the first line of the commit message
- Links directly to the corresponding commit on GitHub
- Displays basic change statistics (files changed, additions, deletions)
- Supports full-text search in commit messages (title + body)
- Lets you choose how many entries to display (e.g. 100, 200, 500, 1000)
This should make it much easier to keep track of ongoing development without clicking through each individual repository.
Limitations (current status)
- All recent changes (within GitHub’s event window) from all repositories and all branches in the
openacs organization are listed.
- However, historical backfill is incomplete: not all changes from the full OpenACS history are imported yet.
- The
openacs/openacs-core repository has currently been backfilled back to April 2005.
- Other repositories show their full activity only from the point where they were mirrored to GitHub; older CVS-only history is not yet included.
We may extend the historical backfill to more repositories over time, depending on interest and resource constraints.
Feedback and suggestions for improvements (UI, filters, additional data, better linking from existing pages) are very welcome.
All the best
-gn
