Hi; Apparently the old mercurial repository that the OOo team did in bitbucket is no more, and we know that because the link in our sources page is not there.
For those of you that were not around, Oracle wanted to transfer the history from the repositories but the process to convert everything from mercurial to subversion would take too long and we needed to get started really soon so we sidestepped it. With git it would have been easy, but at the time infra only offered subversion. There was some interesting code there which we actually have the power to relicense. There was a branch with an update to hsqldb, for example. Somewhat later Herbert Duerr actually made an exercise of a faithful translation : https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/exploring_openoffice_history_using_git_grafts/ last time I talked to him, he mentioned the resulting file was at minotaur but there was a 26G blob mirrored here: https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/extern/HistOOory_v0.9.zip It would be really nice to take the above and rebase our current repository on top of it. Or perhaps, someone should pass the request to infra. Cheers, Pedro. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
