When the upstream netrek-server code base imported my cmake build patch it renewed my interest in working on this project.

Couple problems I need to work on.

Biggest issue, I forgot to create a “make install” target.

Starting my collection of cmake links. I’ll post them below:

Finally got around to documenting how to build the netrek-server with cmake.

Info is both on launchpad and the netrek wiki.

James released 2.16.0, his announcement below:

2434a02b5e01646c7fc55bc1185ea3c5 netrek-server-vanilla-2.16.0.tar.gz

Also available on

http://netrek.org/files/Vanilla/

LTD_STATS is now default. If you are upgrading from 2.15.0, be sure to
keep LTD_STATS in include/config.h defined as before, otherwise your
player database will become inaccessible.

Official announcement is here

After a fixing a “find-and-replace” error, James accepted the netrek-server-osx branch into the main repository.

Remember kids, find-and-replace is a friend but double check your work before doing a mass change

Got this spam email to the owner of the netrek-development mailing list. I got a pretty good laugh.

I had an epic failure and did not darcs add the cmake build files. “Worse” James’ osx merge branch is based of trunk and had all the deprecations of PING, RCD, RSA, so I had to spend some time merging branches.

Worked with Dave to get res-rsa-2.9.3 released. Good stuff.

Looks like you need to “beg” the LP admin’s for a project rename. Bummer.

Can follow along here.

As discussed on irc, all the launchpad teams associated with the Netrek
Project are being collapsed into a new time called netrek-developers.

Details to follow on how to change your maintainer to netrek-developer.

And here are the details.

Bah, have to ask LP admin to delete your team once you move it over to
netrek-developers.
