Title: Obtaining the source
Post by: virag0 on August 31, 2011, 04:01:20 pm

Hi,
I am trying to git the source as desscribed on the appropriate page in the wiki,
but it keeps timing out, with nothing I seem to be able to do.  It seems to pull
back about 1.5 gb from the repo before losing the connection.

I am sorry this is a general question, but is there an option for git to resume
downloading if it is disconnected?

Otherwise, is there a tar.gz source and data bundle I can zip back and unpack
using a script to "gitize" the source?

I am trying to get the 2.4 source onto my PPC mac, so I can try for you guys....

Sadly it isnt possible to resume a git clone afaik. You have to download it in one go.

Hi,
did you try cloning from the github mirror (http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Getting_the_source#github)? It's said to allow longer connection times than sourceforge. And no I'm not aware of any tarball of the git repo, sorry.

Hi,
thanks for the info on github.  I overlooked this info before. 
I am trying to git the source again now and will try to do a PPC build.

Is anyone interested in a Solaris 10 (SPARC) build of 2.3.1?
If so, I might try to do a build on my workstation next week....

A 2.4-dev build? Could you then help us with big-endian savegame issue? I would really like to fix for the next release.

Hi,
I am going to attempt a 2.4 build on leopard PPC shortly.
I have to move the code around on too small USB sticks, so it is annoying but I am almost
ready to try.   I will post here with more info when I have something to show...

Meanwhile, a Solaris 10 2.3.1 build for SPARC  is on the way!  I have nearly finished compiling
all the dependencies, so it is packaged to run cleanly.   I do not know who will want this,
but it is extreme nerdniness and someone will thank me later...
