Question about MegaMek on SourceForge
« on: 01 February 2011, 08:58:49 »
Since my group started playing MegaMek about a year and a half ago it re-energized our interest in Battletech.  Up until last week I used to go to the develop page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/megamek/develop
and watch the development progress to see what things were happening to the program.

I understand that there was a problem with SourceForge last week but I thought it was fixed.  Currently when I go to the MegaMek develop section under whats happening and I click on a revision all I get is an error saying the page it unavailable.

Any of the developers or anyone knows why?  I miss watching the development process.

Thanks

sourceforge got hacked (similar to the forums here). As of now they turned off the CVS function, which enabled us all to check on the progress directly. You can still check on it going to the normal megamek page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/megamek/
Change, even for the worse

I figured it was something like that but I like to be able see each revision as a preview of what's coming up.

I guess I'll just have to be surprised when the new release comes out.

When they release a new beta, they usually announce it here on a thread, which also becomes sort of a bug thread as well.  When a new version is available, they should announce it here as well.

Hammer is referring to the subversions, which anyone is free to compile between releases.  It's kind of nice, especially for MML and MHQ where there have been significant improvements to the code that have not been included in any release.  But I think the whole SVN repository is down  :'(

It's just the web access that is not working, the repository itself is working just fine and can be accessed by any subversion client.

Ah, good, then things aren't as bad as they looked.  I'm hoping web access gets restored soon though, as it's the most convenient way to view the history and download the source files (from a non-developer, downloading files only perspective).
