Suggestion box: source code to add/KDE

Nicolas17: Discourage using anonsvn for anything, even incremental updates; use rsync instead.

KDE is an international free software community producing FOSS software like Plasma Desktop, KDE Frameworks and many cross-platform applications.

Its source code started on CVS, then moved to SVN, and more recently migrated to Git. But the migrations weren't entirely lossless, so there may be interest in archiving the legacy repositories directly as well.

Contact:
* KDE Sysadmin Team on <sysadmin at kde.org>
* <tt>nicolas17</tt> is a member of KDE Sysadmin and is often on [[IRC channels|#swh-devel]].

== CVS ==
While the CVS repository was migrated to SVN, it's possible not all of it was migrated, for example old apps that were already deleted (but still present in history) by the time the migration was done.

The CVS repository is long gone and not publicly accessible. However, there exists a backup copy of it (2.8GB .tar.xz, 18GB if uncompressed). Contact KDE Sysadmin to get it.

== SVN ==
The SVN repository is still publicly accessible, even though most of the actual code has been migrated to Git. It's still in active use for translations and website code, but it also has code for applications that weren't migrated to Git because development is inactive (nowadays if someone wants to resurrect an app, the first step would be to convert the history to Git).

The repository is 90GB and contains almost 1.5 million SVN revisions.

It's accessible at svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde, but it would be inefficient and cause a lot of server load to download the million commits. Use rsync://svn.kde.org/svnmirror instead. You may also contact the KDE Sysadmin Team to get a compressed tarball or something for the initial copy, and then use rsync to keep it updated.

== Git ==
All current KDE development is being done in Git.

The repositories are available at <tt><nowiki>git://anongit.kde.org/<repo></nowiki></tt>. They add up to 34GB (but there may be badly-packed repos in there). The list of all KDE Git repositories can be retrieved from https://projects.kde.org/kde_projects.xml (it's generated automatically so it should remain up-to-date when new repos are created in the future).

Note that the Git repositories are also mirrored into https://github.com/kde, so SWH may already have all of them through the GitHub import.

The repository is 90GB and contains almost 1.5 million SVN revisions.

It's accessible at svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde, but it's strongly recommended to only use that for "keeping up". It would be inefficient and cause a lot of server load to do the initial full mirror (downloading the million commits) through anonsvn. For the initial mirroring, use rsync://svn.kde.org/svnmirror instead, or contact the KDE Sysadmin Team to get a compressed tarball or a svndump or whatever.

Nicolas17: /* Suggestions */ Add KDE

The [[Archive]] is growing organically. We started "small", tracking 3 '''software origins''' (GitHub + Debian + GNU), and we will be adding new origins bit by bit, depending on the urgency of archiving them and available development energies to integrate them into Software Heritage.

Using this page you can add suggestions of software origins that we aren't following yet, but we should. You can include information about who to contact for technical collaboration, the urgency of archival, and other useful information. To that end, just add a row to the table below. Here some information about the meaning of the various columns.

Entries are currently listed simply in order of addition to this page; we will add more structure when the list will start growing.

=== Legend ===

;Software origin
: any (public accessible) "place" on the Internet that host software in source code form. Please provide a title for it and hyperlink it to the relevant URL
;Type of origin
: information about the kind of hosting, e.g., whether it is a forge, a collection of repositories, an homepage publishing tarball, or a one shot source code repository. For all kind of repositories please specify which VCS system is in use (Git, SVN, CVS, etc.)
;Contact
: who to contact for technical collaboration on how to best archive source code hosted on the software origin. You can list yourself if you're the relevant person, or provide the most relevant contact point if you know it
;Conservation status
: information about how likely it is that the software origin will disappear; high likelihood will make it more urgent for us to archive software hosted there. We suggest to use the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_status species conservation status], i.e., one of: Critically endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU), Near threatened (NT), Least concern (LC).
;How to mirror
: (pointers to) technical information on how to do a full mirror of ''all'' the source code available at the software origin, ideally one shot and in batch
;How to keep up
: (pointers to) technical information on how to incrementally retrieve new source code accumulated since the last visit; usually this should be based on some kind of incremental change feed or event API
;Notes
: anything else you think we should know about this software origin
