Description V Stuart Foote 2025-05-28 22:03:21 UTC 
In the Help -> About dialog, the URL labeled 'BuildID' has been having issues with returning the project git log pages.

Call directly to current head are fine:
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+log/

But the URL generated for the Help -> About seems to have issues when followed.

Affects Win11 Chrome, MS Edge, and FireFox browsers.

This has seemed temperamental/non-functional for a while now, just got round to opening an issue.
Comment 2 Aron Budea 2025-05-29 02:38:45 UTC 
This is an infrastructure issue, and should be posted to redmine: https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/

Thanks!

The BuildID is read from the file versionrc via getBuildIdData() in unotools/source/config/bootstrap.cxx. The link to Gerrit is set in the c'tor at cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx. 

The fact that the page does not support encryption, which prevents loading is however a topic for infra.
