Worldforge Debian Packages

I'm in the process of building Debian Packages for Worldforge. Currently I've made all to run Sear, the new 3D client, uclient-mason, cyphesis-C++ and so on Some libs and sear is already uploaded to victor and can be accessed via apt-get. Add the followling to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.worldforge.org/pub/worldforge/debian unstable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.worldforge.org/pub/worldforge/debian unstable main

and you can install them. They are compiled on a Sid box but should work on Woody too. Please mail all bugs to konqueror@gmx.de.

Timothy Flower (sir_botchalot) has created a really cool script that will spit out CVS statstics for a given month. The script keeps track of total number of commits in each module, the commiters (and the number of their commits) and other interesting things. I've posted some of the text files that the script generates over on purple at:

New 3D client

New Java projects

Atlas-Java 0.0.3

This maintenance release of Atlas-Java fixes several bugs and adds new features in the areas of negotiation and exception handling. Since it is the Java implementation of Atlas, the central WorldForge protocol, use and knowledge of Atlas-Java is almost a requirement for every WorldForge Java developer.

Frost 1.2.3

This version of Frost fixes several bugs, re-enables the map editor, and uses the Java API for XML parsing instead of a third party XML api. This new version therefore requires that you either have Java 1.4 or JAXP installed.

Eris-Java 0.0.1

This is the first release of Eris-Java, which will eventually become a complete solution for client-side WF development that encapsulates all the complexity of Atlas transactions. Eris-Java does not yet reach the standards set by the excellent Eris-C++, but it will.
