Ask HN: Where is MongoDB source code?

12 points by aleksi 1y ago ↗ HN

There are no commits or tags for two months: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commits/master

In the meantime, 8.0.5 and 8.0.6 were released: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/8.0/

Those appear to be patch releases for major releases, not rapid releases, so the source should be available: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/versioning/

There is a forum post without an answer: https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/source-code-in-github/316442

Is MongoDB no longer source-available?

I'm not sure how much I can say about it, but it is temporal solution and not about closing the source code. The new commits should be available in the coming days unless it would be decided to postpone further.

Thank you.

> MongoDB remains fully committed to open source

I guess not everyone inside MongoDB Inc. knows that MongoDB is not open source.
