Welcome to the Open Logging website.
This site contains the changelog information for all projects which use
BitKeeper under the free use license (BKL). The intent is that anyone
may watch what is going on in the distributed collection of BitKeeper
repositories worldwide.
You can see the project logs here;
click on each column heading to sort on that column.
There are many projects hosted in BitKeeper, including
the Linux kernel,
the MySQL database,
the Xaraya content management project,
the ReiserFS project,
the Open Zaurus project,
the NTP time management system,
and
the Xen Virtual Machine project,
to name a few.
If you want to host your project in BitKeeper, for free, then try out BitKeeper
here.
It is impossible to count all BitKeeper users
but from the logs here and on bkbits.net we know
that there more than 50,000 users world wide. Someone has
synchronized with this site from every continent and about 60% of the
countries on the planet. Someone synchronizes with bkbits.net more than
once a minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
A project which is stored in BitKeeper may be replicated many times (we've
seen upwards of 10,000 replicas of the Linux kernel for example). All those
replicas can mean it is hard to track down who is changing what. The intent of
this website is to give everyone a way to watch their favorite project and
see what is being changed.
This site does not have the actual changes, it contains only the metadata
(checkin comments, who made the change, what host/domain, etc). Many projects
have a replica populated with all the sources hosted at
bkbits.net.
It is a requirement of the free use license that repositories be made
publicly available so if you can't find what you are looking for
let us know which one you are
looking for and we'll try to track it down for you. Note that some projects
may have a legitimate need to "hide" their changes, i.e., they may be fixing
security problem, and in those cases we all need to respect the need for
secrecy. But in general, the idea of the free use license is to help people
who are helping other people by working out in the open.
If having your information publicly available isn't acceptable to you,
contact us for a commercial license.
The idea for this website came from Alan Cox who pointed out that one
problem with a truly distributed system is that there is no place to
go to see what is happening in each of the repository replicas.
The web page indices are updated every 10 minutes and contain all projects
which have been modified in the last 6 months (if we include all projects
the listing is just too large, we'll try and figure out a better way to
present the information).
There are multiple ways to view the projects:
Enjoy.
