=== TerraSync: A Call for help ===
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>}}
