Move of Irrlicht repository and SF update
Posted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 11:38 am
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discrepancies between Irrlicht SVN browse and your local data, and update does not help, you might still be using on outdated repository.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.
