Mesa Crosses 1.5 Million Lines Of Code, Highest Activity Since 2011

Mesa 3D in 2014 saw slightly more commits this year than the previous two years. However, Mesa didn't see much in the way of new active contributors this year.

With not anticipating any major work to land in Mesa before the year closes out today, this morning I ran a fresh GitStats process on the mainline Mesa Git repository to yield some fresh development statistics.

Mesa saw 6368 commits this year compared to 6037 commits in 2013 or 6102 commits in 2012. However, back in 2011 was when there was 6789 commits or the most massive year of 2010 with 12269 commits. The Mesa work this year yielded 301104 lines of code added (the least amount of new code since 2008) while 209179 lines of code were removed.

The biggest contributor to Mesa this year was Matt Turner with 603 commits. Following Matt Turner was Kenneth Graunke, Eric Anholt, Emil Velikov, Marek Olsak, and Brian Paul. Intel dominates the list and then there's Marek at AMD and Mesa founder Brian Paul over at VMware. Eric moved over to Broadcom this year but for a majority of the year he was still employed by Intel OSTC before now being focused on working out the VC4 Gallium3D driver for the Raspberry Pi, which is also resulting in a lot of new Mesa activity.

Mesa is up to 4,489 files in the Git tree.

Mesa managed to cross back 1.5 million lines of code this year! They narrowly squeezed by the 1.5 million threshold with the total LOC count according to GitStats being 1,500,446 as of this morning. It was just back in May that they were around 1.4MM lines of code.

What do you hope to see out of Mesa in 2015? Let us know in the forums.
