Hi! There should be no "scid continued" but only a "scid". See Pascals mail about merging our code into the main scid repositories. In other words: we are scid now :)
This is what you'd have to check with Peter. Actually, I missed that you were working on a deb package and I droped him a note that there is a new version of scid and he replied right away and said that he'd start to get it working. So, there's a slight chance that you're working on the same thing right now. For Phalanx: it might be worthwile if you could try to take over the abandoned project anyway. If you have the time, of course. It might work with Mikhails patch I hope. (I've no such bleeding edge stuff to test myself, I run Etch. :) ----- original Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Scid-users] Scid2 hits the fan Gesendet: Mo, 30.
