Re: Remove world editor in 2.1.0?
by Sydney Dykstra
Greetings!
It seems that no one has weighed their opinion in on this yet, so I shall share mine.
As much as I would like to see the level editor in the game for release 2.1.0, as it is a rather usefull
tool and is fun to play with, I do believe you are correct in thinking that it would be wise to remove it for this release.
As has been shown just by the lack of people responding to this email, we don't have too many people
with alot of time on their hands at the moment to help fix stuff, so the next best option is to simplify things instead.
Those are my thoughts.
Thanks!
-Sydney

Build system for TSC3
by Marvin Gülker
Hi everyone,
since I have heard complaints about cmake every now and then, I'd
carefully ask if anyone wants to propose an alternative. Luiji earlier
suggested something custom written in Ruby. Since Ruby does with its
included Rake have a quite powerful task tool that can easily be
extended, that's one possibility I'd be willing to further explore (also
given that we have Ruby as a build dependency anyway due to mruby, which
does use Rake).
Note I'm only asking for suggestions so I can evaluate them. That
doesn't necessaryly mean that I'm going to switch the build system for
TSC3 anytime soon. I'm mostly fine with cmake except for a few quirks
and for me there's only little reason to switch.
Currently, TSC3 uses cmake just like TSC2. Since TSC3 will have a
noticably smaller number of dependencies (I hope), the cmake
configuration will be noticably easier as well.
I'd like to preclude autotools from possible build system
alternatives. I've struggled with it enough when I took over old SMC.
Marvin

Re: Server problems with systemd

Quick question for something I apparently missed:

So... https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864720
Debian 9 should apparently work on kernel 2.6.32, but that kernel version
hasn't been supported by systemd since v34 from 2011 (!).
Now, on to the other stuff: is cron the only daemon that doesn't start?
Would you guys mind letting me take a look at the server and the systemd
setup? It just seems a bit odd that cron has trouble but *most* others
don't...

There's always CentOS 6, which uses that old kernel version but still gets
security updates until 2020.

If the company offers service to EU customers, shouldn't they already be

I'd offer my VPS, but it's dirt cheap ($10/year) and randomly goes
down...not really ideal...
In theory, depending on how much we directly use systemd, could we switch
the main distro (e.g. to CentOS 6) but then throw up a Debian container
inside it? That way the config could be nearly identical, but the part
touching the kernel would be compatible.
