570737 - Integrate mxr.mozilla.org with the blame solution on mxr-test

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: MXR, defect)

Description

[(no longer active)]

mxr-test's blame UI for hg history is just so much better than hgweb annotate, and we want that!  We should incorporate the patches from mxr-test and integrate mxr.m.o with that blame interface.

so, the patches for mxr are trivial. there are two bits that are interesting:

1. bonsai wants access to an lxr.conf and a matching set of repositories. - this can be done by either running it on the same host or mirroring (it doesn't need to have the same hostname)

2. i need someone to review the bonsai changes.

We should be able to run it on mxr.m.o, right?

Who would be a good person to do that?

1. yeah, running it on mxr.m.o isn't a problem, for prettiness it would be nice if it were bonsai-hg.m.o instead, but that obviously isn't necessary.

2. someone who knows perl, has some understanding of security risks in webtools and has time.

that last requirement is the biggest problem, reed and justdave aren't really available this week....

The only person who I know might be interested to do this is Johnath, although I'm not sure if he has time for this (of course I could try to convince him in person.)

Timeless, could you please attach your patch here?

Attachment: integration

this is the mxr side of things. it is really entirely uninteresting. the bonsai side is basically available as a bundle. i'm poking johnath now...

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