Important announcement: SVN server address change

The MAME/MESS repo is now available at https://github.com/mamedev/mame

You can use GIT client, clone with
git clone https://github.com/mamedev/mame.git

Or you can still use SVN client,
svn co https://github.com/mamedev/mame/trunk mame

(completely rewritten by RB so people don't get confused by out-of-date info).

Thank you for the info, Justin

Thanks. Updated.

Justin = Nathan Woods?

oh gosh you're bloody lazy!!!!

any 2 sec search in the forum would have shown you that is Bletch = Nathan Woods and that he's busy with work and family.

be sure that if you start harassing him, your patch will take forever to be forwarded to the list

Not going to PM him in the forum.

A new order for the Ghostbusters ?

Exist any problems with the SVN server?
I�m not able to checkout

Code:

svn://messdev.no-ip.org/mess/

Seems to be ok now.

For most of today, May 4th, I have not been able to reach the SVN server.
Error: Can't connect to host 'messdev.no-ip.org': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

I have to assume this is because the person who hosts it isn't online currently. Either the IP has changed or he simply doesn't have internet at the moment.

The SVN server is working again.

Let the games begin

We're pleased to announce our new publicly-facing MAME/MESS SVN server located at: [url=svn://dspnet.fr/mame/trunk][url=svn://dspnet.fr/mame/trunk][url=svn://dspnet.fr/mame/trunk]svn://dspnet.fr/mame/trunk[/url][/url][/url]

When contributing code, please base your changes on the latest code found on the SVN server.

We will continue to create patches and releases as before, but our hope is that this will provide better communication with end users and potential contributors.

The old svns are no longer up to date.

If you were using the MESS SVN, you will need to blow away your entire downloaded folder and start over. External artwork will not be carried over so you'll have to save it somewhere.

Alternatively, external artwork is available at AntoPisa's site, and on my site.

edit: for some reason the link won't display properly on this board.

I'm using TortoiseSVN on Windows 7 and when I try to relocate the address from 'svn://messdev.no-ip.org/mess' to 'svn://dspnet.fr/mame/trunk' I get an error message that says:

Subversion reported an error:
'svn://dspnet.fr/mame/trunk' is not the root of the repository

I'm not sure what to do here. Any ideas would be great, thank you.

Relocation doesn't seem to work here - at least that's how I interpret a statement from Micko (in the shout-box yesterday)... although there might be a solution of some sort, the easiest thing is to re-checkout the complete (new) SVN trunk.

No problem, how do I re-checkout though?

Just create a new folder (and/or remove the old one) and checkout from the new SVN repository with the above svn:// URL.

I just found out, right click in a folder where the MESS source is not installed and click on SVN Checkout. I was looking in the MESS source directory initially, no wonder it wasn't coming up. I'll give this ago, thanks.

This seems to have done the trick, it's downloading the source code now. Thanks for your help very much.

Per the front of www.mamedev.org right now:

Our repo is now available at https://github.com/mamedev/mame

You can use GIT client, clone with
git clone https://github.com/mamedev/mame.git

Or you can still use SVN client,
svn co https://github.com/mamedev/mame/trunk mame

Just got this message trying to update the repo:

Code:

pc@pc-System-Product-Name:/media/pc/Disco3/mame[git]/mame$ git pull
*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'pc@pc-System-Product-Name.(none)')

You have a poison revision in your local repository. Assuming your remote for mainline MAME is called "origin" and you have no local changes, please try the following:

Code:

git fetch origin master
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
