Hi Offray !

from Pharo you can access the monticello repository with the following code: myRepository := MCSmalltalkhubRepository location: <anUrl>.

then you can get: myRepository allVersionNames.

Finally you can get the commits informations (message, author, date etc.) using: myRepository versionInfoFromVersionNamed: <aVersionName>.

For exemple supposing you want to list all the commit date and time logs from your repository, result contained in a dictionary with the version names as keys you can execute:

result:= Dictionary new.
repo := (MCSmalltalkhubRepository location: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Offray/Ubakye/main').

(repo allVersionNames sortedAs: [ :e | e extractNumber ]) asArray do: [ :v | vers := repo versionInfoFromVersionNamed:v. result add: ( v -> (Array with: (vers date) with: (vers time)))].

Hi,

I don't know if the terminology is the proper one. Anyway I'm trying to plot a "time line" of the history of a project which is stored on [1] and [2] (after rebranding) and also of the commits to documentation on [3] using Pharo/Roassal.

[1] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Ubakye/
[2] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Grafoscopio/
[3] http://mutabit.com/deltas/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/timeline?n=200

Given I don't know any API of the sites, I thought it would be easier by scraping the data on the web pages and the using it into Roassal, but after testing some solutions on python, I came back to pharo to see if I can made everything on it, including the data collection.

For [1] and [2] I think that is possible to send a message to Monticello to show all commits of a specific package (like it actually does from the UI) and export them with the information about date of commit for all commits. For [3] I'm thinking in using some combination of Zinc with Soup[4] despite of the lack of tutorials.

So here are my questions:

- There is any way to say to Monticello to export all commits dates and times for a specific package?
- There is any advised scraping strategy for getting the same information from the web page at [3]?

The plot I would like to do is similar to the one of the ebola example at [5], but using high as number of commits and x axis as dates.

Any help is welcomed, as always.

Cheers,
