So it was me being insane noob...

I know it's a noobish question, but I seem to be missing realmlist.wtf file. I found the line in Config.wtf, but it's get autoupdated by WoW.exe itself. I tried to do search in the forums but still nothing Is there any better way than to update it manually and protect the config file?

You do understand it right, this is what I thing I proposed some time ago

The biggest problem is, that LUA does not bring any really big advantage over C++ scripting, and it is really slow. To seriously improve scripting while keeping the speed we'd need some targetted language I am afraid.

It's always good idea to have a mirror somewhere!

Very simple When doing git clone, use the http://github.com/mangos/mangos.git simply

Every developer *does* need have his/hers own repo They just should also have their own branches for all the tasks they do. I wouldn't want to put branches on the main repos, there's no point.

I am working in a place where linear development is something of a past - there is dozens of programmers, and we all do work on code using GIT. It's the release management task that makes the 'linear versions' out of all of those things, and it is somethign that MaNGOS admins should do. It is how we use git: There are three major GIT repositories. One is called "production", another is called "uat", last one is called "testing" On "testing" there is always a version that is actually processed by.. um.. testers . UAT is done by end users. On "production" there is always a released version. At start, every developer does clone from current production version (some exceptions apply but rare, only when we do the parallel development of few productions at once) 1) Every task done by any developer is in his/her own branch of the repository clone 2) After finishing task, they send the confirmation that change from their repository is ready to be picked up from branch 'xyz' 3) At some point, release manager pulls data from finished tasks into test repository. The version numbering is assigned by release manager 4) When testing is finished, release manager decides which features will be pulled to the "uat" version 5) Tests are proceded again, this time on "uat" repository version 6) If they are fine, everything is pulled ito "production" repository. It's the *release manager* task to pick up which tasks are to be combined into release, and his/hers task to assign versions. Normal developer is never able to pull data into even the testing repository. If more than one developer should work on one feature, they can do their own repository tree structure themselves. Feel free The key is to make all development in branches. Every separate task = separate branch, or sometimes even separate repository clone. We work like that for quite few months, and after initial whining ('what was wrong with SVN???') nobody is trying to get back to Old Way. Especially those who were forced to do few larger merges in SVN So... how I'd like to see it in MaNGOS? I would love to have similar structure, maybe not as complicated but rather: + "Released Version" +-- "Next version" (nightly?) +---- | all developers This way the data from developers could be pulled into "Next version" repository, and when all features are tested and complete, they could be pulled into Released Version. How numbering is done, it's up to person responsible for the pulling task. Sequential revision numbering is really a bottleneck.

I suspect there'll be whining for "when feature X that was accepted yesterday will appear in SVN?" from now on Still it is fascinating to see how many people are afraid of learning something new

Installation of MaNGOS for hours??? I can't belive that actually, the GIT is speed improvement for me. Last time I tried to fetch a patch from SVN for hours, it was failing every time.

Guys, please, calm down. GIT, as any other of the source systems is for *developers*. And it is developers that do the work, regardless whether it makes your life tad more complicated or not. Learning how to do a git clone is is like... um.. 5 minutes if you are not drunk. You'll quickly appreciate the speed difference at first checkout, trust me. And you wanted patches to appear faster? You have chance now. If you want to make such fuss over GIT, you can as well throw away whole linux and quite lot of other systems that went *ahead* of SVN. And goodbadguy, in GIT you don't really do patches, you do branches and then they are updating all by themselves whenever you pull something from the master repository. It's *really* easy, but requires you to stop thinking of 'patches'. 1

The OpenSSL might use hardware one.

I think I did the patch to make the better RNG some time ago, currently it should use Mersenne Twister.

You rock! Silly question, could you maybe please create a SVN for your patches?

Works fine for me, just did an update.
