Yay, something to test - at last!! So far so good, not found anything failing to work yet, but will try a new avvie next.

Rarified has updated the Minkata shard client and is again looking for folks to test it - http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?p=7802#p7802

No new updates included at this point - We're checking that the adjustments to remove residual proprietary video playback source code from the client aren't adding any new problems first.

Thank you all for your comments. We are feeling encouraged to try, try again (on FreeBSD).
...and we hope the MOSS attribution is now corrected. Jones hates getting stuff like that wrong.

I always thought a'moaca' was a BSD user (specifically, NetBSD). That's the OS of choice for people who are really and truly serious about network programming like she is.

There are certainly NetBSD instructions on the wiki (along with Ubuntu and Mac OS-X specific nudges) whether or not they're from a'moaca's own experience. Her notes seem to suggest she was working with GNU/Linux.

JW Platt suggested that the issues rarified ran into with the Solaris port were related to memory alignment - I don't think _R ever discussed the specific things he found with me.

MOSS also works fine on Mac OS X, which is closer to FreeBSD than to Linux in some respects. My local testing shard is MOSS running on Mac OS X 10.4 PPC. It’s been a while since I built it though, so I probably can’t be of much help beyond what’s on the wiki…

Wasn’t a'moaca' using NetBSD too?

Rarified used Solaris for the Minkata Shard because he's been running a Solaris based server for some considerable time so he knows it inside out.

MOSS was written to run on Linux and several people have got shards going on various Linux platforms without too much trouble using the available instructions. But Linux isn't Unix. I recall rarified commenting that he found that the baseline MOSS code contained a number of "linuxisms" that he had to deal with to get it to work on Solaris. You're probably running into similar issues trying to get MOSS to build and run on FreeBSD - you just need someone that understands the differences between Linux and Unix to point you in the right direction.

Linux is generally more popular/accessible than the various Unix flavours, so it's understandable that a'moaca' targetted the MOSS code at Linux.

As a side note, with regard to your final comment: The server code that exists (both MOSS and Dirtsand) was developed independently of Cyan, who are currently unable to release their server code under an open source license. The attribution on the IndyURU site is incorrect.

Thanks for that info.

I've been working with Jones over at IndyURU.net to get a shard operating on FreeBSD. It's proven to be tougher to get accomplished than we thought. (Our hats are off to L'anor for his valiant attempt at doing it himself) The quidance material on the OpenUru website about installing MOSS seems not to be as completely and clearly documented as we need it to be and we've not succeded. So, we are wondering how the folks at OpenUru were doing so well with the Minkata shard.

Wanting to try it again on Solaris, but we haven't even been able to get the OS up and running! Also, following the online discusions re what Indy and I call "cooperation and other matters", it seems to us that maybe Miller and Cyan do not really want this open source idea to actually succeed anyway.
C'est la vie...

I am curious to know what "flavor" of Unix the OpenUru.org Minkata shard is running on.
Perhaps I am not seeing this in all the reading both here and at OpenUru.org. Is this info right in front of my eyes but I have I missed it?

Also, I am curious to know what 'nix "flavor" is being used by each of the the other shard developers, too.
Can someone tell me?

Thanks...

Bitbucket and GitHub Integration With OpenUru.org's Foundry JIRA

OpenUru.org continues its commitment to ease of use through public open source repositories Bitbucket and GitHub.

Rarified's upgrade of JIRA to version 5.0 and installation of the JIRA DVCS Connector on Foundry now means a new level of integration with Bitbucket and GitHub.

What it means: Better support for H'uru development's use of GitHub.

As far as new features for JIRA itself, you should see an introduction the next time you log onto JIRA - take a look. http://Foundry.OpenUru.org/jira

I will combine some bullet points from the announcements, include a video, and provide reference links.

Integrate Bitbucket or Github with JIRA and link every commit to a bug or development task
Track changesets, monitor source code edits, drill through to your source files, and link back to Bitbucket or GitHub
Push your changesets to JIRA simply by referencing issue keys in your commit messages
Map unlimited public and private Bitbucket repositories to your JIRA projects
Integrates with Activity Streams

The OpenUru.org web pages, forums, wiki, help desk, and Mantis are currently offline due to a Denial of Service attack against a different website on the same shared hosting server. OpenUru.org will be back online as soon as the host admins either subdue the attack or change all the website IPs on the server.

The Foundry repositories, JIRA, and build system and our Minkata shard remain up and operational.

Yes. First up is unicode support, plus some fixes. I talked with Chogon about it yesterday and the plan is to test it on our shard after Christmas and get it into the MOULa code after the holidays for testing on a MOULa test shard. Then into MOULa itself.
