Talk: Freeciv source code repository

Tags in web view Edit

Twice on this page, it mentions http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv to view the repository in a web browser, yet the newest item that i can see this way is 2.0.4 - this is five year old information. Is there some magic that can be done with the svn administration to get more recent tags to show up through viewcvs? Dentrassi BBQ 13:22, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

The newer tags are on a second page. At the top you should see (I see) a drop-down which currently has options "Page 1: Amiga-1-16-release to R2_0_4" and "Page 2: R2_0_5 to gui-gtk". I agree it's not very obvious, though. -- JTN 21:18, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeesh. Can we change the default sort order so that the most current items fall on the first page? Dentrassi BBQ 21:06, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Please improve the git recipe for Windows Edit

With something claiming to be git version 1.9.4.msysgit.1 on a Windows 7 box the suggested command line...

git svn clone -Ttrunk -ttags -bbranches svn://svn.gna.org/svn/freeciv/

...ends up in some kind of dead loop:

[main] perl.exe" 7084 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\perl.exe: *** 
unable to remap C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\libneon-25.dll to same address as parent -- 0x8D0000
[main] perl.exe" 7084 sync_with_child: child 7552(0x220) died before initialization with status code 0x1
