Talk:Warclient

From Freeciv

Why change all the svn:// links to http://? Do the svn links not work for somebody? They are equivalent last time I checked and both suffer from the same degree of gna lag. And for viewing you should use http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv-warclient/ instead anyway. --Mbook 21:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes the svn:// links failed with "Malformed network datas" or something like this whereas http:// still works on those cases. --Pepeto 05:45, 11 July 2008 (UTC).

I noticed that someone added a MacOS section. Though I fixed the grammar as best I could, there are some things that still bother me:

• The word "port(s)" is used in a way that makes it hard to tell if this is a name of a particular program or a set of packages or an OS subsystem or something else entirely. Maybe use of bold/italics could be used to distinguish between intended meanings.
• This line looks strange:

sudo ./autogen.sh --enable-client=gtk2 ...

Why do you have to use sudo just to run autogen.sh? Are you compiling in a system directory?

• The overall tone of the instructions is rather condescending, as if written for someone using their computer for the first time. Does it really need to keep reminding people to restart whatever and to tell them to "use the internet" (how are they reading this page? ;)).
