[freesci-develop] FreeSCI becomes CABAL::SCI

[Christoph Reichenbach]

Hi everyone,

there had been some speculation on this based on the intensified
interaction between project lead developers already, but now it's
official: FreeSCI becomes CABAL::SCI, one of the modules of the
'CABAL' project ("Coalesced 'Adventures Beyond Architectures'
League"), effective immediately. CABAL is a joint project trying to
unify several existing adventure game engines; you can get the details
from the FreeSCI, Sarien or ScummVM homepages.

  CABAL will be hosted on 'arch' (tla), which is a considerably more
powerful revisioning system than CVS (Debian users should be able to
download the 'tla' package in the usual way). The current master
address@hidden archive is, unfortunately, broken,
due to a HD failure (but the wonders of 'arch' allow us to keep not
just local copies, but local mirror archives, so most developers (...)
are working on these ATM).

  I've put up a link to the last daily snapshot of CABAL on the FreeSCI
downloads page. (Note that I'm not sure whether this version had
working automake/autoconf setup, but you should be able to build
everything by hand.)
