Mozilla Cross-Reference, better known as MXR (https://mxr.mozilla.org), was taken offline on June 13, 2016, to investigate a potential security issue. After careful review of the codebase, we have decided to accelerate the planned transition from MXR to its more modern equivalent, DXR ( https://dxr.mozilla.org), instead of bringing MXR back online. As far as we know there was never a security compromise, but the unsupported legacy codebase (forked from an old version of LXR) would require significant time and effort to rewrite and bring up to spec.
Our transition plan is as follows: - Add an interstitial web page at https://mxr.mozilla.org that displays a best-guess URL for the equivalent https://dxr.mozilla.org file data. This will help interactive users retrieve data from historical links in applications like Bugzilla. - Redirect certdata.txt and effective_tld_names.dat to their canonical source code repositories instead of DXR. All other search queries and automatic pulling of raw files by third parties will no longer be supported at the https://mxr.mozilla.org URL. - Index the remaining repos listed in MXR in DXR for data parity, using bug 1281443 to track progress. Repos will be indexed in the order listed unless otherwise specified. If you need to prioritize the indexing of specific repos, please open a bug and block against bug 1281443. Our expectation is that the interstitial page will be in place and the following remaining high-priority repos will be indexed by June 24th, 2016: - add-ons - servo - l10n If you have concerns, questions, or requests, please open a new bug and mark it as blocking bug 1281443 or add a comment to one of its existing dependent bugs. Additional status updates will also be posted to bug 1281443 and its dependent bugs.
