a large thankyou to Giel and the Gna! support folks.

Post by lav_coyote25 »

For all the hard work to bring the svn up to date with all the history of both GNA and the Berlios systems.
check out the SVN - it took me just over an hour to checkout... and i am on cable. :o
so as i say - a BIG thanks to all involved.


edit: this is both an announcement and news - the community should be made aware of the lengths some of us go to  to provide a better experience - if its in the wrong damn place - move it.  thanks ;D
lav_coyote25 ;D

What URL did you use to check warzone out ?

Because I'm pretty sure you used something like svn://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/ instead of svn://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk/ the added trunk part is very important and will reduce both size and time to check out (size=129MB for me).

PS I modified the title of the topic to have my name with a capital ;) (and while at it renamed "GNA" -> "Gna!" as they're called on their website)

i tried to use the first - kept getting errors -so went and DL'd all of it.

as for the capital letters - i use capitals very seldom...only if i remember  ;D

and this makes number 4 - i am human - i make mistakes - if you want me to correct them - tell me what it is that needs correcting - do not do it for me...thankyou ;D

Moved this from News (which are displayed on the frontpage) to Feedback.

Actually I thought it was your intention to put this on the frontpage, and I thought we should correct errors on the frontpage as soon as possible.

Anyway, as for you making mistakes, no problem with that. According to the laws of probability I will too, someday make at least one. :P
