Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
The folks at SourceForge decided to switch the whole subsystem they provide to projects. Though this all started more than a year ago, we didn't really care about, as we were fine with the current state. However, they will start to convert all projects which rejected to do so on their own, beginning with next week.
Thus, we will now convert our project on our own, as we will then know the exact time for this move. So be prepared, we will convert the project this sunday evening/night. I expect it to happen at around 23.00 CET (IIRC, +2 GMT, as we have daylight saving now).
There are two things which you will recognize. One is the visual design of the project page. IMHO, it's getting worse than it is now, but it's probably a matter of taste and getting used to the new style. Second thing is the SVN repository. It will be moved to a new location, so you have to migrate your local copies. You can use 'svn switch' to change the address without too much data traffic. I will post the correct address once I did the change. The old repository will stay online for a while, but is read-only even for the devs. So in case you experience data discrepancies between Irrlicht SVN browse and your local data, and update does not help, you might still be using on outdated repository.
In case there are any problems with the new style of apps, just report them here. Also if there are new features which we could benefit from, post your suggestions here.

Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
The new platform's (Allura) tickets don't work properly without javascript or on old browsers. It's fairly annoying having to fire up another browser to add a new ticket.
Nothing you can do about it, as it's SF's problem to decide to force-upgrade everyone.

Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
Ok, here's the new path
Or whatever path you want (e.g. branches/releases/1..
For those who have read/write access, please use
Note that the existing checkouts have to be switched via relocate/switch!
Code: Select all
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk irrlicht-trunk
For those who have read/write access, please use
Code: Select all
svn checkout --username=USERNAME svn+ssh://USERNAME@svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk irrlicht-trunk
Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
I guess we should put this on the frontpage.

Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
Currently i use https://irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net/sv ... icht/trunk (the old link with read-only access).
It works fine, i see last rev. 4510.
Will i be able without any changes to use it in future? Or i will not see any further updates by that link?

@greenya
anyway. it might be also a good idea to update the summary page. there is still the old download button to irrlicht 1.7.3
i think that means no further commits will be pushed to the old repo.hybrid wrote:The old repository will stay online for a while, but is read-only even for the devs.

Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
The new bugs and patches can't select "none" as a component, the only choices are "opengl-es" and "unstable (etc)".
Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
The "Contributing" page (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/contributing/) still points to the old repo and 1.7.3 branch. Same for the WIKI (e.g. http://irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.php?n= ... ngIrrlicht).
Maybe someone can fix this?

Re: Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
Thanks, I've updated both and added the info also to the front-page.
