Here's a though: Versiontracker.com. It has Mac and Windows sections and is very popular for Mac users at least. I do indeed normally build a .dmg whenever there's a tagged release of any form. Right now, trunk won't build because Warzone suddenly requires a newer version of Bison than OSX has and I am avoiding having the build process depend on you having anything but OSX 10.4 and Xcode installed. But when that's fixed (which will be within the Xcode project just like all other dependencies of Warzone), it will be the same as it's been since I converted to Xcode: svn co url warzone ; cd warzone/macosx ; xcodebuild ; open build/Debug/Warzone.app _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
