Huawei is spamming open source community for its Harmony ecosystem (See Comment)

mikaco•8mo ago
Huawei is spamming Chinese language issues to pollute repos they eager to control.

stop50•8mo ago
If someone thinks the issues are bad, the pullrequests are worse. Everything is duplicated under an "OpenHarmony" directory plus a bunch of useless files.
alexey-salmin•8mo ago
Any idea what is the intended purpose? I mean, assuming good faith (which is not granted but plausible) how would this help them to build their distro.
ValtteriL•8mo ago
They will get visibility. Having a lot of OSS that officially support HarmonyOS make it look more credible alternative.

This is a spammy, astroturfy way of promotion. That I don't like. But I like having options.

foul•8mo ago
Sometimes it honours in a shitty way licenses like the GPLs, otherwise it's just cheap advertising for the early adopters.
ronyclau•8mo ago
Here's an example. This is the PR they created in lodash's GitHub repo:

https://github.com/lodash/lodash/pull/5980

StopDisinfo910•8mo ago
I was tempted to defend them on the basis of the issues but, gosh, are the PRs bad.

On top of the duplication, the added files are somehow commented in Mandarin.

Disposal8433•8mo ago
I like small details like the fake labels "Enhancement, Compatibility, Cross-platform" at the bottom of the issue to show that they don't take time fill those issues properly.

If you look at the PRs, you can see a shitshow where one unique commit dumps everything without any explanation, and where they duplicate the code of each library for no reason. Employees spamming projects with bad code shows that Huawei is a bad company. Shame.

bestouff•8mo ago
I think it shows they didn't learn how to do it yet. Western companies had the same problem at first, now some of them know how to upstream a change. Huawei will learn to be a good citizen - they have to.
pogue•8mo ago
Is HarmonyOS available somewhere? Can I install it on my laptop and try it out?

To be fair, it's their freedom to create a proposal to any author they want, and it's also the author's freedom to reject the PR.

But to be honest, even if the author rejects it, what will happen is most likely them forking the repo and make changes on top of it.

yorwba•8mo ago
The issues mostly link to repositories that were created more than a year ago. So I think what happened is that they already forked the repo and made changes on top of it to get it to work on HarmonyOS, but there was no bandwidth for ongoing maintenance. Someone finally realized that this is unsustainable and demanded that the changes get upstreamed, but the people charged with implementing this directive don't know how you upstream changes. Hence this hamfisted attempt.
mort96•8mo ago
Most hits aren't even PRs, just issues requesting the repo maintainer to support HarmonyOS.
new_user_final•8mo ago
I hope you can read English.
mort96•8mo ago
I can, do you have a point you wanted to make?
aitchnyu•8mo ago
Umm, if we do not assume malice or imcompetence, why would they need to adapt js libraries for an OS?
procles•8mo ago
They have their own dialect of TS, they maybe changed something in a way that breaks compatibility.
rhzdgaf•8mo ago
Best reply to the PRs is What's OpenHarmony? Isn't that China's spyware in 5G towers that caused Covid?
StopDisinfo910•8mo ago
I don't think that can be considered spamming.

Apparently, there is a push by Huawei to try to upstream some of the adaptation they have done and test cases they have written so that some libraries are usable on their OS called OpenHarmony.

For reasons which are obscure to me, Huawei has apparently decided to open proposal issues before submitting the actual PRs. Honestly, it's not like they are asking much more than a "yes, we are interested" or "no, we aren't".

People here would probably be congratulating the company on its effort to be more open source oriented if it wasn't a Chinese one.

pizofreude•8mo ago
Well, if the US can spam ban hammer and promote monopoly, Huawei can defo use freedom of speech and expression to voice out their ecosystem freely.
