Earlier today I outlined the goals of my current release. One of the problems I was looking to fix was with the function, getMaxEntries(). The job of this function was to create an xmlHttpRequest() in order to retrieve the maximum number of push entries in the repository. The pushlog displays data in reverse chronological order [...]
It’s time for another release for hgweb. I had thought about working on a new feature this release by I’ve decided to push that back to the next release. This time around I completely want to focus on one bug, getting pushloghtml to show more than 10 entries at a time. Why? Well, I’ve put [...]
I’ve decided to remove the navigation links that appear at the top and the bottom of pushloghtml. This wasn’t part of my goals for this release but I’ve decided to add this at the last minute. The patch is for bug 459727, which loads more data OnScroll and thus makes the navigation links obsolete. There [...]
I had mentioned in my previous blog post that hgpoller/pushlog-feed.py had bitrotted. One of my goals for this release was to make changes to the current version of pushlog-feed.py so that my patch is no longer broken for bug 459727. I’ve finally made those changes, which mainly occur in pushes_worker(). The following is what this method looks [...]
I had mentioned in my v0.6 goals blog post that my patch for bug 459727 had bitrotted. Unfortunately significant changes were made to hgpoller which apparently broke my patch. I need to remedy this situation because all my server side functionality for this patch is in the pushlog-feed.py file. I downloaded the latest hgpoller source code and had [...]
In my last release I had put out an hg annotate fix for the gitweb_mozilla theme. Dirkjan Ochtman, a Mercurial Project developer, noticed my release and asked me to come up with a similar fix for the Mercurial Project’s paper theme. I decided to take up the task and see if I could get similar [...]
All the way back in November 2008 I had put out a patch to implement expand and collapse functionality (for merge changesets) for the pushlog. I had gotten an r+ review but I just needed to make some minor adjustments to the patch. Time went on and I totally forgot about implementing that minor fix. I [...]
It’s time to start working on my 3rd release for this semester. My goal is to put out 3 patches this time around: A patch for the Mercurial Project‘s Paper theme (fix for hg annotate, similar to what I did in v0.5) A small fix to bug 445560 so that it can finally go live [...]
I’ve finally completed my 0.5 release. This release I tackled an interesting problem with hg annotate. Trying to improve efficiency and loading time of an application isn’t something I had tackled before. It was a good experience trying to figure out the solution to this problem. I’ll be putting up a new patch on the [...]
In my last post I revealed my fix for the hg annotate loading issues. My fix reduced the loading time to a relatively reasonable ~8sec considering the fact that currently the loading time is ~20sec. However, it was still bugging me that Mat’s implementation was producing faster loading times than my fix. His implementation is [...]
