Ok do we have a general plan for building? are we going to create GNU make makefile(s) I don't see this as too much of a challenge just "stuff" to do?

No worries, if you want to get running very quickly with out much thinking :-) then just do http://www.byteme.org.uk/secondlife-amd64/compiling-the-client.html > > In parallel, work's gotten quite busy, as we're building towards a release > so I'm not sure I'm going to be able to offer too much more work on the > slviewer package for the next few months, although I should be in a > position > to build-test and fix bugs, and I might have an older PowerPC machine > online > (not fast enough to run it, but can smoketest compilation) soon. yea works a pain, gets in the way of SL.

Ooooh git. I could *in theory* run a repo but it will be on a broadband connection and i can't sustain huge numbers of people working off it, but just a dev team would be fine. > > That was always my plan once we were in shape for Debian, but I haven't > thought through how such a thing should work in detail though, > particularly > in relation to dpatch. > > I understand there's some kind of git/quilt combination but I've not > looked > at it before. I think the dpatch/quilt should work a treat. I don't know how it integrates with git though. Maybe we should start with manual dpatch/quilt and no git. You can have a working build with 7 patches and some of them are added features such as openAL and mozlib. I think plan #1 is create a makefile for 1.18.4.3 that will give us a working start point for debianisation. I will try to ITP and package c-ares soon as well. I've got another package in my queue that i must finish first. Robin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
