Issue Area

Overview

Describe the issue

Hello LFX Insights team! The GCC project needs a few adjustments.

The full project name is "GNU Compiler Collection" (gcc) not just "GCC"

The URL to the project repository is "https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git" and not the upstream gcc-mirror/gcc in github (which the project doesn't control or own or endorse).

Steps to reproduce

Search for "gcc" and go to the project page.

Expected vs. actual behavior

Description is "GNU Compiler Collection" and the Links to the git url is "https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git"

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I filed this issue as I was reviewing the whole of the GNU Toolchain and the LFX Insights data for this foundational system toolchain.

Hey @codonell 👋🏻

We’ve updated the project name to GNU Compiler Collection and cleaned up the project links in the metadata to reflect the official repository URL (https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git).

Just to confirm — was the request specifically about correcting the displayed project metadata, or would you also like us to change the repositories we’re tracking for data ingestion?

[codonell]

@skwowet Thank you for updating the project name and the links in the metadata.

To answer your question: Yes, if LFX needs a GitHub repo or GitHub APIs, then you should use an upstream maintained mirror e.g. https://github.com/gnutools/gcc

I only just turned on github mirroring, we normally use either upstream or gitlab mirrors, but since gitlab can mirror to github I've set this up for any other downstreams that have data analysis pipelines that need github APIs.
