I'm not sure how important this really is, but it would help.  The only problem
is that we are blocking on the ohloh team to either do this or to give us the
ability to do this for them.

Just adding this to the collective memory.

Ohloh has gone open-source, so all we need is a Ruby hacker to knock this out. 
It shouldn't take very long:

git clone git://github.com/robinluckey/ohloh_scm.git

I'm marking this need-volunteer and adding two Ruby hackers I know in the darcs
community just in case :-)

It may be worth noting that neither koders.com nor krugle.com support Darcs-
based projects as well; but they don't seem to be open, so...

As mentioned on Twitter, I'll take a look at the weekend, time  
permitting.

Scary but good guidance from Ohloh: https://www.ohloh.net/topics/1138?
page=2#post_10108 . This project seems like another great driver for darcs 
robustness.

I've commented here: https://www.ohloh.net/topics/1138?page=2

Hi Ashley, could your work on this be made available ? It sounds like a 
good starting point/guide for others.

Also note recent interest from Ohloh: "That said, we're looking for the 
"low hanging fruit" for making some substantive updates to ohloh. We're 
evaluating what would be most valuable and doable. Are there members of 
the darcs team ready to tackle this?"

My current project is almost over. ie only days away from completion. So while I have no money coming in, I have a lot of time to pair :-)

If anyone wants to pair, remotely, or - ideally - on-site, now is the *perfect* time to catch me. Really happy to spend time on this on if there's a Darcs hacker around to help!

Cheers 

Ash

I'll leave this as "Can I make surface travel to somewhere I can afford to stay a week?" I'm serious. Simon or otherwise, let me know where, and I'll roll and sail there if at all possible. I need a break. No remote coding accepted.

See issue1972 and issue1979 for another angle on the problem.  If Darcs
could support fast-import well enough to just mirror the repo, maybe
that'd be the path of least resistance?  (Or ohloh could learn to read
the fast-import format directly for its needs)

I'm in Los Angeles, and sm on #darcs, anyway. Just now I got as far as 
getting ohloh tests passing (bar one), copying the hg code and renaming 
to darcs, and seeing the adapter_factory_test pass. I expect you've done 
all this.

Many of us are interested, and Ohloh is interested, in getting  
ohloh.net to support darcs repositories directly. It doesn't look hard  
to get good-enough support working; it just requires hacking 10 or so  
simple, well-organised ruby files. I've made a start on github[1], and  
set up a collaborative how-to & notes page here:

http://etherpad.osuosl.org/pCIn3uhOeW

Please help! And forward this to appropriate places.

Best,

I'll have a rummage around.  It's here somewhere...

is anyone attending BelHac who has looked into this issue to some degree
already? This person could maybe manage and coordinate a hacking sprint
there which might provide enough manpower to finish the project. I’d be
interested in taking part.

Greetings,
Joachim

Hi all,

I dug out the code I worked on ages ago.  No idea what state it's in, but it might be useful.  Hopefully it will save some work.

https://github.com/ashleymoran/ohloh_scm/tree/darcs

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards
Ash

The status/how-to page has moved to a nicer url: http://etherpad.osuosl.org/ohloh-darcs-support

5 of the 10 ohloh darcs adapter test files are now passing. Come and  
help put us over the top.

All ohloh_scm darcs adapter tests are now green, and the code has been  
submitted for review: https://github.com/robinluckey/ohloh_scm/pull/2

Current status of http://etherpad.osuosl.org/ohloh-darcs-support (http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1002): I got the ohloh_scm 
darcs adapter tests passing and now we are awaiting review from Ohloh, which could take a while as they are still in 
transition. If you wish, add your support to https://www.ohloh.net/topics/1138?page=2)#post_16260 .

Best,
