[liquidwar-user] Liquid War future

[Christian Mauduit]

Hi everybody,

Happy new year, may 2006 be liquid 8-)

Just a word to say that:

A) Liquid War 6 is really on its rails, really more than vaporware now.
Although nothing playable, it compiles, runs, does things. Only loading
a level for now, but believe me, that's how Liquid War 5 started in
1998, it's on the same track, cool 8-)

http://www.gnu.org/software/liquidwar6/

B) I moved back Liquid War 5 source repository to Savannah. The good
news is that Savannah now supports GNU Arch (finally!). So well, it's
here:

http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/liquidwar/

Note that most users won't need that and will simply download the
official tarballs. This is only for those who want to keep a precise
track of the developpement branch. Additionnally it allows you to hack
and maintain patch without even opening a Savannah account. Quite cool.
The big "but..." is that GNU Arch has well, what you could call a "steep
learning curve". Understand: tutorial takes 70 pages and you have to
read it 3 times to get started. I'm exagerating a bit maybe, but GNU
Arch is definitely not so easy to use than CVS. It howevers kicks CVS or
Subversion in terms of power and functionnality 8-)

Other thing is that I decided to use Savannah's bugtracker to handle the
bugs and tasks. See:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=liquidwar
https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?group=liquidwar

C) Anyone has feedback on 5.6.3? Does it run, blows, compiles, crashes?
Just asking ;-P I might release some 5.6.4 release if

Have a nice day, oops, year,

Christian.
