I've spend some time with freeciv.net again. This time I started by forking andreas's code for my own more or less experimental adjustments. My git is in https://github.com/cazfi/freeciv-web
I just managed to really play the game, albeit with several shortcuts and hacks compared to the way freeciv.net is supposed (documented) to be set up. I didn't find exact freeciv revision freeciv.net code is based on documented anywhere. After some investigation I have concluded that it's 16158 as changes of that commit are in, but those of next one are not. I tried to apply all the patches on top of freeciv r16158 (actually I reworked the patches to apply cleanly with standard way, and wrote script to do the patching - idea is that freeciv.net version control should not have hard to maintain patched version, but patches are applied to pristine freeciv tree). Resulting version differs from patched version currently in git (does the patches directory lack more patches - I added ones from two commits README mentioned) and it didn't even compile. So, my success was still achieved with patched version from git. To run freeciv.net on modern Debian, one has to build freeciv with "--disable-ipv6" option. Ancient freeciv revision depends on IPv6 sockets to listen IPv4 too - IPv4 side is not explicitly handled. This is no longer true in modern systems and IPv4 is what freeciv.net needs. - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
