As part of the continued server cleanup plan, the libopenraw website has moved from gabe to annarchy. In the process it also got upgraded to a later version of moin to enable catpha’s.

To combat spam both the spectre and swfdec wiki’s have been upgraded to a later version of moin. Capta’s have been put in place and all existing spam has been removed. Sorry, probably a few broken links due to this change but shouldn’t be too hard to clean up.

After many requests, bugzilla @ fd.o has been upgraded to 3.0.8 which should fix quite a few bugs that people have been experiencing. I also fixed the main bugzilla page to show the correct front page rather than a zero bug. Short url’s should still work as expected.
As per usual, if you notice anything not working, let me know. – benjsc

Hi Folks, a few changes have now been put in place to try and fix a few issues that people have been experiencing with the caching used by cgit on the freedesktop.org repos.
First off a little background. Git web was replaced by cgit as cgit is both faster and the caching allowed annarchy to have some room to breath. This left a few issues which were only discovered later on. These were:
With these to items fixed, things should now be back to normal. If not, let me know.

Recently I’ve been playing around with jhbuild. I wanted to jhbuild to use a custom branch from a git repo I’ve setup. Sadly the documentation on how to do this is a little lacking. Added to the fact that the jhbuild code drops an argument and there’s a lot of fun at work.
The solution, use the revision attribute in your module set file:
<repository type=”git” name=”git.freedesktop.org” href=”git://anongit.freedesktop.org/”/>
<branch repo=”git.freedesktop.org” module=”~benjsc/xorg/proto/compositeproto” checkoutdir=”xorg/proto/compositeproto” revision=”ir” />
This checks out the ir branch of the repo: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~benjsc/xorg/proto/compositeproto

After a few weeks of the cgit change over happening, I’ve been working with Lars Hjemli (cgit creator) to try and add the remaining functionality that gitweb had, but cgit was missing. Very quickly I added sort by age functionality which left only full log support.
Well Lars has done a great job responding to requests and hence not only has full log support now been implemented, but he’s also cleaned up my hack to allow sort by any column. Thanks for this Lars and for the other bug fixes!
So now http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ should have all the functionality of gitweb. If not – please let me know!

For those that want to try this pre v 0.8.2 functionality on their own website, just use the wip branch from the git repo.
