Hi, I am here again with a consideration about the choiche to use a snapshot for the amule port.
I understand maintaing a port is an huge gift to the FreeBSD community, and gratitude goes to those, such as you, that do this job. It is not my goal to ask you to steer the port in the direction that would be useful to me alone, but please consider what I am going to write. I have built and installed the port on SPARC64, on an headless Sun server (Fire V100) to run amuled and amuleweb only. Everything gone fine. I then installed amulegui from the Ubuntu Repository on a laptop I would use to manage the amuled on the server. Since the amuled on the SPARC server was based on the snapshot and the amulegui on Ubuntu on the 2.2.6 release, the gui refuses to connect to the server saying the protocol version isn't the same. So everyone who wish to use amuled and amulegui on different platforms needs to do one of those two things to ensure they are the same protocol level: - use an older port on the server based on the 2.2.6 or earlier release and then use an amulegui from a repository (for Ubuntu or another linux distro) - use the current port based on the snapshot then build the amulegui on linux from the same snapshot instead of using a build from a repository I still haven't decided what to do yet.
