'''Help needed:''' SimGear 2.11+ now has experimental support for a libsvn replacement, people building from source are encouraged to help with testing and debugging this new feature: | |||
{{cquote|<nowiki>First, I need some help; for people to rebuild simgear with -DSG_SVN_CLIENT=1, and mv / erase their TerraSync dir. Then simply run FGFS as normal, as if you were starting on a new machine / account with no previous use of TerraSync.</nowiki><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40191.html|title=TerraSync libSVN replacement testing|author=James Turner|date=Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:58:20 -0700}}</ref>|James Turner}} | |||
{{cquote|<nowiki>So, as I've previously asked before, I really need people running from 'next' | |||
to try with -DSG_SVN_CLIENT=1 when configuring SimGear, move their existing | |||
TerraSync dir out the way, and test, test, test. I'm sure the new code isn't | |||
100% trouble free (in particular I think there is still the occasional time | |||
when it gets stuck not doing any more downloads until FG is restarted), but I | |||
really don't want to move forwards with the code until I have a bit more | |||
assurance it's not going to make everyone's setup crash 80% of the time, which | |||
is what some people have reported. | |||
Note this applies even if you 'don't use' terrasync since the SVN sync engine | |||
is going to be used for other pieces of data as soon as it's stable. (I will be | |||
adding a new preference to globally control whether FG works in online/offline | |||
mode, of course)</nowiki><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40775.html|title=<nowiki>[Flightgear-devel] Built-in Svn client code crashing</nowiki>|author=<nowiki>James Turner</nowiki>|date=<nowiki>Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:54:38 -0700</nowiki>}}</ref>|<nowiki>James Turner</nowiki>}} | |||
