All the inane chatter goes in here. If you're curious about whether we will support a game, post HERE not in General Discussion :)

Daily changelog broken in SVN

Post by singalen »

The changelog I'm used to reading (http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/daily/) is broken.
How can I help fixing it? Where to get and where to put sources?
Also, may I ask you to tweak SVN to put into changelog (http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/daily/ChangeLog) the changed files or directory; otherwise it's un-understandable - what module was a particular change in.
Thank you.

There is an email address at the bottom of the daily page of the person maintaining it. You can contact him (Claudio), if you are interested in getting this fixed. I already did so some time ago, but got no response yet.

I think nobody on the team uses that page, though, which is why we rarely notice this problem. If you are interested in staying up-to-date with regards of Changes made to ScummVM, I recommend subscribing to the scummvm-cvs-logs mailing lists (which, despite its name, also logs our SVN changes).

You could also take a look at the logs of that list, but they lag a couple days, I am afraid: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/for ... m_id=33067.

Finally, there is CIA, but you can't see diffs there: http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/ScummVM.

Any news about this? Actually is quite outdated compared to the CIA logs and not specifing the modified files.

Qhat about generating ChangeLog based on the CIA logs and putting a link to it on the main page? It could be great for those ScummVM nerds like me and others ;)

I found this:

Why generate a ChangeLog from the CIA data, as opposed to directly using the CIA data? It even contains useful links etc., so why should we genrate a plain text file with less information in it?

In addition to CIA, there are Fisheye and Ohloh, BTW, both linked from http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Developer_Central :
