GitHub organization for archiving the source to orphaned Haiku/BeOS apps

Do you know where I can get the source to Haiku? I've got it installed and running on a Zbox and I thought a good stress test would be to see whether I can rebuild the whole thing. I found a link a couple of days ago, but it's dead now. Your post looks like the latest entry on this forum, and it's two days old. How many Bees are there in this hive?

I think this is a very good idea. Everybody uses Github nowadays and if Github got evil one day, it'd be easy to transition to somewhere else thanks to git. Even the Github pages and the Wikis are in the git repositories itself.

There's loads of abandoned stuff on http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects and OsDrawer sucks majorly, it's slow as hell and often enough doesn't work at all. So if you want to do the world a favor, you could use git-svn to "rescue" the projects from there. I guess it's a good amount of work though.

Oh and btw, it *looks* like the Redmine software on OsDrawer hasn't been updated in a very long time. So I wouldn't be surprised if it'd suddenly be gone some day, which is another good reason to archive the stuff there.

Hi,
some notes :

- I have started archiving some software here: http://pulkomandy.tk/~beosarchive . Not all of it has sources, but you could upload at least the one that does
- Can you consider sending an e-mail to haiku-development and/or haiku-3rdparty mailing lists ? I think you will get more echo there than on the forums.
- It would be nice if you add relevant information as to where you got the source from. For example, VNCViewer has various different forks around, and so does BeAE, possibly others. If you make it clear where you got the sources from, it's easier to merge the newer versions in (or replace the repo or whatever).

This is fantastic work.

A few years ago when they posted they were going to take it down, I duplicated the http://BeUnited.org CVS server. http://beunited.org is still up but there isn't much there now.

The BeUnited Development Portal http://osbos.net/developer/ is also still running. I don't think the CVS server code.beunited.org is available anymore but if someone wanted to look over the list of software at http://osbos.net/developer/ to see if there was any additional code/projects not already archived I should have it.

Thanks for saving the programs and source code!

Hi

Perhaps you should team up with OsDrawer.net ans also allow Changes to the code, dead/unchanged code will probably not work on Haiku anyway.

Hi. First of all, great initiative!
Second: I noticed you imported the source of BeScreenCapture from OsDrawer.
I'm the original developer of BeScreenCapture, and I had already set up a github repo for it, and the code was updated, so the version you've picked up is very old.
The url of the official repository of BeScreenCapture is this:

http://github.com/jackburton79/bescreencapture

Bye!

Hey DarkWyrm!

Long time no see! We'd much rather see you continuing those apps (and especially Paladin) :)
Or maybe a new lesson in your coding workshop?

WRT the topic: If anyone fosters an orphaned app, it should be considered to create a .bep file for haikuporter for it. That way, it'll be prepared for package managment (or at least one step further to it).
