Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 1437
source browing doesn't work
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:42:47 UTC
The source browsing link from the download page points to an extremely non-functional page where instead of top level diretories all links are '/' and point back to openoffice.org
Hi, This issue is being tracked internally as pcn5347. I will keep you updated on its progress. Thank you Kat

Hi, Putting up a static page has been proposed as a workaround for this problem. If this would be acceptable further details and assistance can be provided. Thank you Kat
I really think the code browing via web should work, so if a static starting page (Q: how can we make sure it doesn't get too out of date) is what it takes it, then we obviously have to go that they.
Reassigning to Louis for further action. Kat
PCN 5347 is still being worked on. I just queried its status. A static page is okay--Kat means a static URL for each instance. I think instructions will also work. But, it strikes me that the only reason this is an issue to begin with is because we are using legacy stuff from Tigris. SC has a feature at the top navbar: Source Code. Click on it. It takes you to the Source Code page. There is a link: "Browse". This allows you to browse the source code as God meant you to. A better solution is to eliminate the legacy links. Louis
Hi, In SourceCast1.2.1 a change has been made with regard to the permissioning system so that there is a listing of projects shown that the user has access to. This functionality will be made available when the site is upgraded to the mentioned version of SourceCast. Thank you Kat
I really can't see why source brwosing - just the way most projects have it can't just work, without needing any kind of login or similar.
actually this was fixed 12/14 but is being retested now with the upgraded version. It works on stage01 and will work with the production box. louis
I just tested this and it works. louis
I just tried (link from: Help->CVSWeb source code browsing): http://www.openoffice.org/source/browse/ I see only '/'s . Lots of them.
well, you're right. But that's not the right url to use. The way I tested it... 1. go to left navbar 2. click on "projects" 3. pick any project 4. go to project's top navbar 5. click on "source code" 6. click on "browse source code online" (it's at the top of the page) 7. a list of all cvs modules will be represented. just clicking on the url you have won't do anything unless you specify the actual module. So, to look at the www module, which is the website, you would need "http://www.openoffice.org/ source/browse/www/". and voila, that works. Now, as to the link in the documentation that gives the wrong url, that's another issue that should be filed. For using source browsing from the *proper* locale works. louis
and as to the problem, fixed the link from the Help pages so that it goes to the www/www directory, just for fun. cheers Louis
I really would like to see the "enhancement" (we had in Tigris) to browse the full CVS tree and not only per project.
Status whiteboard says "sc1.2".
Yes. 1.2, which will supposedly give us this *enhancement* :) cheers, Louis
As there seems to be no SC1.2 planned could you please update the Status Whiteboard accordingly?
Updating Whiteboard. This issue is addressed in 2.0 and all subsequent and related releases.
