lame filename ... 😒

I should realy get rid of this ugly php-links ,)

and no, my builds aren't dead - I just forgot it last week 😉
I'll update them again later today.

Maybe some staff member may add my page to the linksektion?
As there is no need to register to get the build or something like this, and the dosbox cvs has lots of improvements over the last release (although it might be a bit unstable sometims), lots of people may like CVS builds.

hmm yes. I should add it sometime.

nice 😉

http://cvscompile.aep-emu.de/dosbox.htm works now btw *g

added it. Thank you for providing them.

XTale: How do you generate CVS changelogs? (the one I'm referring to is posted on your site at the URL http://cvscompile.aep-emu.de/cl/dosboxChangeLog.txt)

perl script called cvs2cl
takes the cvs-commit messages and puts them in a large textfile

hunterZ take a look at
http://pcnwstage.phys.rug.nl/dosboxcvs.txt
for a changelog since the latest release.

created the same way though. just using different dates i think.

XTale and Qbix: Thanks. I really want to get the tools to do it myself so I can generate an up-to-the-minute changelog directly from Sourceforge. I'll track down cvs2cl and start messing with it 😀

I've been having to use the CVS browser to hunt for changes in the DOSBox source tree to see if I need to re-download it. This will save me a lot of trouble.

well that link i provided is updated twice a day.
should be quite up to date i think.

Is it updated manually (i.e. by a human) or automatically?

automaticly. (crontab entry)

XTale - I see some weird differences in the size of the dosbox.exe's from your Windows builds:

Official 0.63 - 2004-11-18: 1,667,584 bytes
CVS build - 2004-12-06: 989,184 bytes
CVS build - 2004-12-19: 359.936 bytes

I know about the missing net-support and screendump from your CVS builds, but where did the 500 KB go?

used upx today ,)

Qbix: Ah, thanks. I guess I'll bookmark that then, as I can't suss how to use this Perl-based monster (cvs2cl) to parse the CVS log directly from Sourceforge (i.e. I think I have to checkout the package first and then run cvs2cl on what I grabbed, correct?)

MiniMax: Holy crap. I think I have a bare-minimum build (except with net support I think) and after stripping it, it's 1,303,552 bytes. I don't see how net support could add a whole megabyte.

EDIT: I knew you'd reply before I did 😉

Considering that this thread is for the old forums....should we start a new thread? Perhaps with the title:

Unofficial CVS Builds and locations?

I think "developement" is easier to understand than "CVS"

Obviously not easier to spell though

bwahahahhahahaha. 😉

People who don't know what a CVS build is most probably don't need to use one 😀
