Summary0001516: Online code documetation at sourceforge.net should provide links to source code on Github
DescriptionThis feature proposition, for which fixed files are provided in attachment, relates to a long standing issue with the online code documentation for OpenFOAM. For example, in this block of text: http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/cpp/a00100.html#details

    Detailed Description

    Foam::basicMixture.

    Source files

            basicMixture.H
            basicMixture.C

    Definition at line 50 of file basicMixture.H.


the links for the two entries for "Source files" are pointing to http://foam.sourceforge.net/src/thermophysicalModels/basic/mixtures/basicMixture/basicMixture.H - which results in a 404 error message, because the source code was not uploaded to the project's web-space at sourceforge.net.

The attached files add the ability to rely on a temporary shell environment variable "FOAM_ONLINE_REPO" for using the respective path to Github, for example, to: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/tree/master - which will result in: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/tree/master/src/thermophysicalModels/basic/mixtures/basicMixture/basicMixture.H

The attached files are as follows:

 - "bin/tools/doxyFilter" - has been modified to allow the optional environment variable "FOAM_ONLINE_REPO" for using as the base path for the files for source files, without affecting the true path to the local file.

 - "bin/tools/doxyFilter.sed" - has the respective modifications for supporting the script "bin/tools/doxyFilter" with this new feature.

 - "doc/Doxygen/Allwmake" - has a couple of new options, namely "-online" and "-help". The "-online" option will base itself on the shell environment variables to create the link, namely:

      export FOAM_ONLINE_REPO="https://github.com/$WM_PROJECT/$WM_PROJECT-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION/tree/master"

Additional InformationThe attached files are already taking into account the proposed bug fixes on the following issues:
 - issue #1016: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1016
 - issue #1512: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1512
TagsNo tags attached.

Sorry for the typo on the subject line, namely "documetation" should be "documentation".

The original purpose of the source files list in the header files was to permit easier navigation of the source tree for code development, i.e. it was expected that the files would be local and editable. For this to be useful the documentation would need to be generated locally and updated regularly. Ultimately we did not find this to be very convenient and continued to use more traditional source finding methods. It was not expected that these links would be useful for browsing the remote source repository as the Doxygen files already contain HTML versions of the headers with hyperlinks. However, if people would find them useful we could upload the source tree to sourceforge for the links to work. Alternatively we could maintain github repositories of the released versions of OpenFOAM and set the links appropriately using the patches you kindly provided. Which of these two options do you think would be preferable?

For those people compiling OpenFOAM-2.3.x or OpenFOAM-dev and generating the Doxygen documentation locally what is the advantage of the source files links refering to the original files on github rather than the local clone? The advantage of refering to the local files is that you can get them to load into and editor and change them if you want to.

Sorry, answered not in order of the questions:

  - It hasn't been common practice in OpenFOAM's repositories to tag the first commit, but if it was, instead of the link ending in "master" it could end in the tag, e.g. "version230". This way it would not be necessary to keep a separate repository for a specific version.

  - I thought there were guidelines from SourceForge.net that you were following, in order to keep the number of files to a minimum on the rendered Doxygen code documentation section... although adding more 20000 or so files among ~130000, doesn't all that much more.

  - The reliance on Github, is that it can give us access to the raw version without having to download it directly (although it might depend on the browser being used), which possibly won't happen if the files are directly in the foam.sourceforge.net file path.

  - The other advantage of linking to the Github repository is its ability to search for words directly in the source code, in case we're looking for something that the search function in the Doxygen generated code documentation won't find.

  - The advantage of Doxygen giving access to the raw source code itself directly online is because sometimes it comes in handy to have access to the raw version. Usually helpful for comparing files from different versions, without having to download the whole source code.

  - The original purpose is still very useful, for when the code documentation is generated locally, namely for the ability to open the original source directly for editing or inspection.

Now that the OpenFOAM-dev repository is public it will be tagged when versions are released and these can be refered to.

I agree that it would be good to tag the .x repository when patch releases are made and I will do this in future. If the links refer to the tags will github provide the version of the source-file relating to to that point in the repository history? If so this is an excellent idea.

I agree with you other comments and will make the changes today.

Thanks for your efforts on this.

Actually, only "version-2.3.1" is (was?) missing in the latest .x repositories ;)

Working example for 2.2.2, which allows browsing it online at Github: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/tree/version-2.2.2/src

Which is why I mentioned that the ".0" tags usually are missing, for example: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/releases

In addition, Github gives the maintainer the ability to add additional information to a tag (dubbed "release", as you can see in the last link), including "blobs" of binary data associated to the release.

OpenFOAM-2.3.x does already have the version-2.3.1 tag:

> cd OpenFOAM-2.3.x
> git tag
version-2.3.1

Do you see this tag in your clone?

I just explicitly pushed the tag so you should see it now.

I have also added the version-2.3.0 tag, let me know if there are any issues.

Yes, they are both up now: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/releases

But... OK, I was finding it odd that the tag for 2.3.1 was dated 17th of November, but it is in fact for the last commit before the 10th of December.
