That's why it has it's own website and cvs server and such... In fact somehow the freemint cvs server has adopted many projects which are more suited to atariforge. > I think it'd be great to get more popularity in using AtariForge for > Atari projects. > Me too. > I know that we're using the resources of AtariForge already, but it'd be > really good to start using the bug tracking features etc. > > I've just registered as a user and I'm willing to help out. Too few users and developers to make it hugely viable, however there is a bugtracker for freemint that I think people just need to use. Right now there's not a terribly huge amount of freemint bugs. Everything is in kind of a "gotcha" stage. XaAES could have made good use of the bug tracker but things are fairly perfect in that now... At least under ARAnyM. The path that I would like everything to follow is very soon to upgrade to the sparemint development site at http://dev.sparemint.org... The IP on here is wrong, I have to chat with Rob about getting it updated ;) Just add that to your hosts file and set the IP to 66.92.233.10 and the site should load properly. Basically a yum/up2date style automatic updater/net installation client. The server side has a lot of code and maintains a database of packages ... The rationale for me is twofold: 1. sparemint cannot support multiple repositories right now so having a 68060 or a gcc3 specific sparemint distribution is out of the question without losing what you have now. 2. sparemint does not maintain archives of all the older packages which I also think is important in case there's bugs - the Sparemint Update Manager client will be able to upgrade or downgrade packages at will. Things will be more idea once we have a dynamic library linking system setup. Thanks, Mark
