[XBoard-devel] 4.4.0 status on linux

[Arun Persaud]

Hi

after H.G. managed to merge his version (including Alessandro's changes) with 
the CVS version, I managed to make
some progress on the linux side: I updated the autotools files and got it to 
compile on linux (opensuse 11.1) (via ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make) 

I also have all changes in a git repository (not yet in CVS on Savannah, since 
we are waiting for the paperwork stuff to be completed first). There is still 
quite a bit of work to do, e.g. I know of at least one segfault, also updating 
the documentation will be a bigger job ;) Anyway, I thought I let you guys know 
what's happening in case you want to try it out. The git repository is at:

http://nubati.net/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/xboard/

Also have rpm's on the opensuse build-server at:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/apersaud/
 
I'll be testing it on FICS from now on, would be good if we can get some more 
testers ;) 

cheers
