svn.openftd.org gone? Where is the source of the development version now?

Added by surfer about 3 years ago

Hi,

I get the error message below. So: is svn.openftd.org gone? Where is the source of the development version now?

sander@flappie:~$ svn co https://svn.openftd.org/svn/nntpgrab/trunk/

Given the activity on this site, the repository as well as the answers to inquiries i think it's safe to say that this project is as dead as a doornail. It's sad because i enjoyed nntpgrab very much and i still haven't found a decent replacement for it.

The DNS record for the domain openftd.org got expired recently so the repository has moved to https://svn.nntpgrab.nl/svn/nntpgrab/trunk

The NNTPGrab project isn't really dead, it's just that other projects (my regular dayjob and my work for Fedora Linux) have had more priority.

Regarding the development of NNTPGrab: the project is currently at a point where a decision needs to be made about the way forward.
In the past couple of years various new technologies were introduced in the open source world which can make NNTPGrab work much more efficient (higher download speed, less CPU usage, more responsive user interface, ...).
However, to implement these new technologies large parts of the program have to be redesigned from scratch which takes quite a lot of time.
I've started working on this on my local machine, but it's still very far from being usable.
Once is starts to become usable and I'm satisfied with the architecture I'll publish the code

A "svn co https://svn.nntpgrab.nl/svn/nntpgrab/trunk/" indeed works. Great.

The make results in the error message below (Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit):

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

I don't know how to add something to a linker command line, so tips are welcome
