Infrastructure

What we have

Unfortunately, there is no place from when we can know what things where are/were doing. I (evyscr) decide to start this page to collect knoledges.

Metaserver

• Older versions of Freeciv up to and including 1.14.x use an older Metaserver here.
• Freeciv 2.0, 2.1, and later versions have a new Metaserver which you can find here.

Bug Tracking System

Currently we use patched RT (3.0.6) at rt.freeciv.org. Because of it is patched, we can't upgrade it simply. Most problems with current BTS design: 1) spam; 2) periodical problems with maillist; 3) current problem with guest account.

Wiki

We have wiki at wikia.com. Now it is the only up-to-date www place...

Forum

Our forum is phpbb with several custom patches applied and resides at forum.freeciv.org. It is outdated and upgrading has failed twice as of 2007.

FTP

We host a an ftp at ftp.freeciv.org with anonymous upload activated for ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming

IRC

Official Freeciv IRC channel at Freenode. See Freeciv:Community Portal#IRC.

Users stuff

I (evyscr) has three (now) cron scripts on cvs.freeciv.org that make S2_0 and S2_1 snapshot tarballs. This means I nave an svn branches tree there.

What we need

Translator services

• Translation statistics
• Automatic generation of msgmerged po files

Public servers (Pubserver)

Pubserver was an online service to host Freeciv games and provides ranking and statistics amongst other things. It was operational from 1998 to 2006 but is offline as of 2007.

Old

• Old website at old.freeciv.org
• Mailing lists used to be hosted by complete.org and old discussion are still archived there. See Freeciv:Community Portal#Mailing Lists
