476621 - MXR needs to handle svn.mozilla.org better

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: MXR, defect)

Description

[Matthew Gertner]

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455526. The MXR repository for the project is here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozillasvn/source/projects/webrunner/trunk/. It doesn't look like it's been updated since November or so.

Comment 1

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

Our svn repo is too large... the way we're currently handling this isn't working. Need to work with timeless to come up with a better solution.

Comment 2

[timeless]

tentatively, this is probably a combination of:

find . -name trunk -type d |xargs -n1 svn up

and some magic at the top level to "discover" new roots

i'm told there's an svn bot which has some intelligence for that...

Comment 3

[Matthew Gertner]

I'm using MXR as documentation for the Prism API right now. It's therefore even more important that the repository be up to date. Is there any chance we can get the automatic update working?

Comment 4

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

timeless and I discussed this. Need to recursively look through directory for .svn and similar directories. Update those and not recurse it, etc...

Comment 5

[Matthew Gertner]

Did we ever come to a conclusion on this? Would it be possible at least to run the update again manually? It doesn't look like it's been updated for a year or so, so MXR is very out-of-date with respect to the sources in SVN.

mxr is gone, mass closing.
https://searchfox.org/ is a much better alternative.
