Hi all,
I've moved all the key FCPtools code out of
FreeWeb CVS and into the freenet project's official CVS, under
/Contrib/fcptools.
You can access via cvs/ssh, or browse the tree
at
I've relinquished ownership of
fcptools because:
1) fcptools is multi-platform and written in
straight C, versus FreeWeb which is shamelessly windows-only and only compiles
in MS Visual C++
2) FCPtools is being used by a much larger audience
than FreeWeb. So it's accommodation on the FreeWeb site is no longer
appropriate
3) I want (to hobx's revulsion) to concentrate on
windows GUI stuff.
4) It would be lovely to see fcptools benefit from
a larger community's involvement in its evolution.
Please note:
1) FCPtools will soon be removed from the FreeWeb
site
2) Anyone working on FCPtools, please get CVS
access to the Freenet project (if you haven't
already).
3) Please Please - DO NOT commit anything to
FreeWeb CVS form now on - instead, commit to Freenet CVS
4) If anything in Contrib/fcptools on Freenet cvs
is broken, then fix it - I apologise - don't revert to the copy on the FreeWeb
cvs
Folks, enjoy fcptools. It gives me great pleasure
to hand it over to the wider freenet community. May it empower client-writers
everywhere, and help Freenet to reach a bigger audience faster.
But *please* keep it
multi-platform.
If you're linux-only, and you make any substantial
changes, then please arrange for someone with msvc (sebastian, myself, \x90 and
many others) to integrate your changes into the windows build.
This is serious.
Again, PLEASE KEEP THE WINDOWS BUILDS WORKING AND
CURRENT.
Cheers
David
