That's great. I have fond memories of these "mod" songs, which were "the thing" in the early 90s, before storing and transferring recorded music became practical. I used to have whole diskettes (!) full of these things ;-) >.. > The version control repository was converted from CVS to Mercurial, and more >.. > converting the build system from GNU Autotools to CMake, and then looking into >.. I'm curious - I'm sure you didn't pick up mikmod just to convert its makefile (a move which I have to admit, I don't like). What "itch" did you have in mikmod which you wanted to "scratch"? I.e., what big feature are you thinking of adding or annoying bug you wanted to fix? Another thing I'm curious - is the tracker "scene" still alive? Are people composing new MODs, listening to them, etc.? Is there a good site you recommend for downloading MODs from? I have to admit its been (many) years since I last listened to one. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Apr 11 2012, n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Bigamy: Having one wife too many. http://nadav.harel.org.il |Monogamy: The same thing! _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
