Access to past public EGL registry SVN history is forbidden. about egl-registry

[oddhack]

@outofcontrol may have migrated the server recently, although I don't recall the details. There was supposed to be a redirect which may be failing. James, can you comment here?

[outofcontrol]

Access should be fine, however there is no egl folder in public:
https://cvs.khronos.org/svn/repos/registry/trunk/public/

The only APIs showing are gles, glsc, spir-v, typedarray, vx and webcl.

Jon, was EGL removed at some point?

Possibly? It ought to be there somewhere in SVN history if so. Maybe go to the root of /public and do an SVN log to determine what range of commits is there, then should be able to bisect to where public/egl still exists.

I'm unsure if there's anything of real value in there though. The EGL registry is close to strictly additive - minor updates to extensions get made, new extensions added.

This history has some value, to know when a given extension/symbol was added.

In some very specific cases, where a recent code base needs to compile with a wide range of gpu drivers (shipping old or recent eglext.h), we may want to work around with code constructs like:

#if EGL_EGLEXT_VERSION >= 20190808
/* ... */
#endif

It's also the case with some unofficial extensions (declared in vendor specific headers like eglmesaext.h or eglextchromium.h) that eventually become official at some point.

Having this history available would helps to easily know exactly what to test.

You shouldn't be testing time stamps or versions but features, eg. #ifdef EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display

@outofcontrol if I go to https://cvs.khronos.org/svn/repos/registry/trunk/public/egl/extensions/ I do see the history. The only thing that occurs to me is that the non-logged-in public access might need to be updated as the SVN repo got relocated a while back, IIRC. I can't view this from a non-logged-in browser without putting in my Khronos login, but if I am logged in, I can see the old content here at SVN revision 34076.

https://cvs.khronos.org/svn/repos/registry/trunk/public/egl/* is now publicly visible.

[jolivain]

I confirm it's working. I tested with the command:

svn log --diff https://cvs.khronos.org/svn/repos/registry/trunk/public/egl/api/EGL/eglext.h

Thanks!

@outofcontrol really everything under registry/trunk/public should be publicly visible, not just egl/, to help avoid this coming up again.
