Changes: Infrastructure

Revision as of 10:52, 26 September 2007

This article outlines the facilities and services that make up Freeciv's infrastructure.

What we have

Metaserver

Older versions of Freeciv up to and including 1.14.x use an older Metaserver at meta.freeciv.org/metaserver/freeciv.html
Freeciv 2.0, 2.1, and later versions have a new Metaserver which you can find at meta.freeciv.org/metaserver.phtml

Sourcecode repository

We use Subversion (SVN) hosted by gna.org: svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv/

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 a wiki at wikia.com. It is the only up-to-date website...

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 It is outdated and upgrading has failed twice as of 2007.

Mailing lists

Mailing lists are hosted by gna.org: https://gna.org/mail/?group=freeciv

Downloads

We use the download section on sourceforge.net for official downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeciv/

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.

Backup

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.

gna.org provides daily snapshots of trunk as well as the whole repository.

Wikia provides snapshots of the wiki database: full English wiki snapshot or browse all the dumps to find localized wiki dumps.

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
