ShadowOfHassen

I like the idea of having multiple repos/ tags for bug tracking. Then, people can haunt the areas that are their specialties. (I want to eventually see everything about text writing/ changes in the game) According to this random thing, it shouldn't have any difference. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8686691/what-does-the-git-mean-in-a-git-url I was using vs codium and Gitg, if you want to recreate. This time, however was just git push

I've tried to upload files via CLI and i'm getting this error: fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitea.itms.ovh/ShadowOfHassen/historyencylopedia/' Could someone else verify that they can upload files to the service?

That's what GitHub does with the other repo for the encyclopedia, however my other project that I use vscodium with on codeburg doesn't have .git, and I can sync that perfectly fine. I'm for the most part an idiot when it comes to programming, so there might be another reason... I'm Do you want me to see if it can handle big files? I just downloaded the Ubuntu 23.10 iso and I can see if it handles that. (Please confirm it's like 5 GB and I don't want to break something or cost you a lot of money.

origin https://gitea.itms.ovh/PoppaSmurf/historyencylopedia (fetch) origin https://gitea.itms.ovh/PoppaSmurf/historyencylopedia (push) Which should in theory make it work... I think. Yes, @Itmswas right, the problem was with me trying to upload some test files. I'll only do one commit, though, because I don't want to eat a lot of data/ bandwidth. I think most of the general features work, I think it's up to the smart people to try to break it. I like this idea. I would love for WFG to make a series of RTSes

You can do CLI stuff to automate flatpak (technically, that's what they have currently). However, I was thinking just setting up CLI to make a stand-alone executable 0 A.D. Linux binary, and just use that in the flathub. We could also CLI automate the snap, and then set the flatpak up to just use the snap, like spotify does.

Ok. Maybe after we switch to Git we can get some CLI stuff that makes things easier. Personally, I wouldn't use the flatpak if we had an official steam. Hopefully eventually we can build this project up where we can have a few people (not counting me) who are willing to work on flathub.

So gitea, doesn't have anything to mark comments off-topic, but I managed to delete @Gurken Khan's obnoxiously rude comment. I, as moderator, could also edit it. So I guess permissions are working.

I have to agree with his take. I have seen first people who ban everyone who disagree with them and complain about "toxic" environments are the ones who create them, so I'm hesitant to automatically ban someone who says something mean. However, I do think OSS needs to get cleaned up a bit. Not here however, I think 0 A.D. is for the most part fine even though sometimes we argue.

You can make a rude comment in this issue: https://gitea.itms.ovh/PoppaSmurf/historyencylopedia/issues/1 The second problem probably is OK because I renamed that file around the same timeframe to Readme.md, so you might have had a glitch around there. (Nothing wrong with @Itms setup, just a qwirk that gitea has.

So is the plan to allow us to have multiple repos in the wildfire Git. Clearly you'd need permissions (We ain't hosing no GitLab here) but it would be interesting to be able to have multiple repos (keep the community mod in the gitea perhaps?)

For some reason, my commit profile icons don't match my custom icons.

Also my ShadowOfHassen Account can only have one repo. Poppa Smurf has several but he is still banned from creating another. Which is a shame because I wanted to test private repositories.

Would someone do me a favor and say something obnoxously rude in an issue on the encylopedia repo: https://gitea.itms.ovh/PoppaSmurf/historyencylopedia I want to see if I can delete a post as a moderator.

I can confirm that collaboration works. PoppaSmurf has made ShadowOfHassen a collaborator to the new encyclopedia repository. I'd like to figure out why I can't sync changes though.

I have been wanting this a long time. I want to give two votes for the project, one with my ShadowOfHassen account and another with my PoppaSmurf account I got on the gitea. (https://gitea.itms.ovh/PoppaSmurf ) I PMED for a password, but I couldn't wait. Account creation worked, and then I created a repository (which I don't think average people should be able to do.) When I tried to upload files using vscodium as a GUI front end to new repo however, I got this error: " > git pull --tags origin main fatal: couldn't find remote ref main " I also was unable to fork 0 A.D. I really hope this works out! I'll be testing this!

I'm sorry. I had no idea what you just said.

If you want a good but solid intro into some Hun history and culture, try the series from Classical Stuff You Should Know: https://www.classicalstuff.net/ They have a series about Gengis Kahn.

I agree, I honestly think that this is OSS Achilles heel, is the bad actor who take value and instead of giving value back demand better support, that can allow even worse actors to take control. There needs to be a way, to allow the developers to get payed for their efforts with still having the coolness of OSS, or else I'm afraid the entire free software experience might break. (I'm not worried about 0 A.D., until Microsoft Amazon and Google use it for an essential part of their infrastructure and don't contribute.)

What's more scary is how there was a weaponized effort to take over an essential part of the Linux stack by burning out a sole developer and then adding the malicious code. It was pure luck that someone found the problem.

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/xz-tools-and-libraries-compromised-with-a-critical-issue/ This is a few days late, but if anyone has a rolling release Linux distro make sure you update. That story is actually scary.

I think for some reason, you're making it seem much more complicated, @hyperion than I've seen it with even the flatpak people. I don't see how it would be hard, to say, "hey people who are currently doing a fine job with maintaining the Flathub, how about we make this official?" And then have them help the dev team maintain it. If you're afraid of getting more bugs, well you'll get it anyway, because people always assume it's the game when it's not the package format, I see it with the other repo I've been helping maintain. The only thing to do is have someone there who can try to help them figure the problem out. Looking over what @Stan` said, I think he assumed I meant making it official for the game. That isn't the case. I'm just suggesting WFG take some control over the flatpak like they have the snap, so we don't have the "scary" verified check mark.

Don't you realize we can just take a snap, AppImage or literally any other binary and just have flathub pull it? If we could get the AppImage online, you'd just tell the flathub to run that. There wouldn't even need signing, you just tell flathub to directly download it from WFG

I believe the plan behind Flatpak was to build on one distro run on all others. I have run into issues, however, where something failed to work on one system that did on another. However, that was a problem between flatpak and system versions, not the flatpak. Just as for example wine + 0 A.D. might not work with all distro combinations. I actually don't even think Flathub wants you to test that many distros. The other thing to note is distros are moving to flatpak. Fedora is stopping support for LibreOffice packages to use focus on the flatpak.

Sort of, except with the Flatpak issue, we can actually do something about it.

I don't mind the unverified label. But I think we probably should not have it because other users could easily be scared away from it, and besides I think it's only fair with we have the official snap, we should have an official release for the more popular third party app store. Native means, It's built specifically for Linux. Does it cost something for WFG to make a Linux build? Even when people like me volunteer to help? If so, how much? I am certain if you just did flatpak and snap, it would be much cheaper than helping to maintain the 12+ different package repositories for the Linux distros? I don't know how much you use Linux, but it is really bad to use wine with a game with an installer. Not only do you have to install the game, but most of the time you have to set up a desktop icon. Of course, you could use something like Lutris, but that's even more work. And of course, using wine increases the raw system power you need on a device. Also, there are many people who are using Linux and aren't tech people who compile apps. I have never compiled an app from source, and if that was the only way to make me play a game, I wouldn't because I don't want to have to go through that much work to play a video game.
