==Project News and Details======Status====* I got OpenGrok to server, but unfortunatley it gives me a read error permission, so I am re-do ing the installation. --[[User:John64|John64]] 20:15, 23 October 2006 (EDT)* Due to a huge number of assignments I have, this project has stalled until at least reading week. I should now have lots of some time during or soon after reading week to spend resume work on this! --[[User:John64|John64]] 10:02, 19 October 2006 (EDT)*'''Update:''' Since OpenGrok doesn't do file version tracking, There is no point in indexing the entire Mozilla code baseproject. This time I will be pulling down a copy of the Mozilla source tree to index instead. This shouldn't have the intense footprint as an rsync'd Mozilla tree --[[User:John64|John64]] 00:01, 10 October 2006 (EDT)manage my time more wisely* '''Issue:''' OpenGrok is very demanding. It has allready filled a 12GB VMware image, and i still dont know how large the index grows. This could be a problem, not because i dont <strike>I have space, but because this may be too much for the school servermany assignments. Likely OpenGrok would I need a dedicated, reasonibly fast machine. It seems to be a very powerfuldo work on them, extremely well done application but it is missing the ability to associate "blame" from what I see. I also don't know how it takes care of file versioning. This happened when indexing should have more free time during the entire 2.9GB mozilla CVSROOTChristmas break. If you take a look at the example OpenGrok I link to, you will see that its a really nice application!* Switched to a local VM from my P4 --[[User:John64|John64]] 21:44, 4 October 2006 (EDT)* Set Java's location in /etc/default</tomcat5 --[[User:John64|John64]] 20:15, 3 October 2006 (EDT)* Figured out port for Tomcat5, 8180 private.

====LinksWhy I like OpenGrok====Apart from the fact that it does not support branches, this is in my opinion the perfect tool. It is fast, open souce and most importantly, it makes really easy to navigate, well thought out pages that just work. Because of the way OpenSolaris does file versions for their code, they don't use branches at all. OpenSolaris currently uses a linear method of file versioning, they don't use branches, they use versions as a sory of branch, basically the idea that Office 12 is the "2007 branch" and Office 11 is the "2003 branch". Mozilla doesn't do this, so it would be nessecary to implement this feature. Luckily, however, OpenGrok is very modularized and atomic in nature. If you go to the OpenGrok page, you can get a more complete explanation, but the basic jist of it is that there are many "Guru's", each with a task. The files are first read by the History Guru who looks at the file and decides what type of versioning the file uses. Once the versions have been analyzed, they are passed on to the file analyzer guru who then decides what type of file it is, and passes it on to a file type analyzer. The allows for portions of the code to be changed without changing the whole system, so if we wanted to be able to do special things with XUL/XPCOM as far as how to handle its symbols, we would write one module which is not dependent at all on any other file analyzer. The same way, if Mozilla switchs to SVN, we would just port the branching support to SVN. On the chances that Mozilla switches to something other than CVS or SVN, a HistoryGuru could be written for that type of versioning history. The OpenGrok project is under the [http://www.sun.com/cddl/ CDDL] which [http://www.sun.com/cddl/CDDL_MPL_redline.pdf derives from the MPL 1.1] In closing, I really like the OpenGrok project because it is '''very''' fast, '''very''' powerful and '''VERY''' modular! ==Links==
