That's dumb, too. Why would we have LGM be responsible for it on Windows but not on Linux? You need elevated privileges either way, because people keep installing ENIGMA in the Program Files on Win 7 (at which point nothing works so they show up on the IRC).
I don't know that LGM's actually going to be capable of updating anything. We'll probably have to maintain installers and patches for each platform, and have enigma.jar invoke the correct installation system on them (the installer on Windows, the package manager on Linux, Steve Jobs on Mac).

Why would he need to share the changed files? Just merge them in locally if you want to try them.

Do you yourselves still believe you can create something similarly functional to GM before GM catches up completely on speed and platform support? (Obviously you are free so leaving a lot of extraneous functions and features out would be understandable).
Yep. By throwing out the interpreter, Dailly has made room for serious optimizations, but judging by the fact that his C++ runner promise has been around for as long as ENIGMA, I'm going to call bluff or similar on his LLVM promise. If they switched to LLVM, we might be hurt. I'm thinking we have about 6-8 millennia before that happens. As far as platform support goes, they've basically already caught up since ENIGMA's Android support only works on every third Tuesday of the month.
At this point, being free is an advantage. But I don't have any personal interest in this project if that's the only advantage. At this point, I'm looking for capability in more aspects than just speed.
Oh, and Luis- If I wanted, I could recommit them. The issue is that I'm afraid he's right; some of those files just shouldn't be in the repository. We ought instead to include them with releases as needed. The issue is creating a release mechanism around git.

Fundies is cheeseboy. It's possible he got it working on Windows, but I think his goal was to fix Linux. Rusky broke all platforms when he went on his deleting spree.
Windows would probably work if you checked out the SVN, then checked out the Git overtop it.

All right, cheeseboy, you've actually succeeded in pissing me off. Here are some bullet points you may have missed:
Fortunately for this project, neither I nor Ism have decided to leave it. In the event that either of us did, this project would crumble. While it is possible that someone new would rummage through the code in the project and run with the volumes of mundane GML functions implemented under SHELL/, no one in their right mind would run with the existing parser configuration as it is too deeply torn between GML and C++. This includes myself; ergo, I am recoding the parser to my specifications. Not as a GML lexer with LLVM code generation.
If you have a problem with this, feel free to leave.
As for the rest of you, understand that your comments are welcome, including constructive criticism. If in doubt on what constitutes constructive criticism, study the differences between your comments and the last several posts cheeseboy made. If you see a difference, it's probably constructive. Or written in English.
I should also point out that this is not my first year at a university. I was a full time college student in High School, but I brought ENIGMA to where it was back in 2010 (when I graduated) anyway. I am now a senior in college, even though it's just the start of my second year. Actually, I'm two credit hours shy of being a senior, but... I graduate in about a year.
- You are not entitled to my help. While you may expect me, as the coordinator of this project, to maintain it, I am in no way obligated to do so, even if it seems "logical" that I do. I could drop this project and all of you on your respective asses at any time.
- I have not brought anything upon myself. You are also not entitled to the use of any of these communication systems. As a proponent of free speech, I let you speak on the forums and, until it becomes a distraction, on the IRC. I could without any repercussion ban you from either of these.
- If the parser Rusky wrote over the course of that month were enough to power ENIGMA, he would either have his own ENIGMA or I'd have ran with it.

And you expect me to allocate additional time to dealing with it because it's actually afflicting you? I'm in college. I only have so much time to myself, and even the time that is mine, I'm not allocating entirely to ENIGMA. Pissing and moaning about something that's broken on the IRC isn't going to aid in anything, it's just going to piss me off.

Yes, yes, cheeseboy. I'm still not putting whatever trivial problem you have before the new parser.
Anyway, I like git better than SVN mostly because of github. The local versioning's just a bonus, which sometimes bites you in the ass.

> It's not that git can't store binaries so much as rusky didn't want us storing binaries because it makes the repository huge and slow.
Same difference; one way or another, it is not to our advantage to keep binaries in the repo. That's a problem based on our current scheme.
And they do have their own parsers, but they are sloppy and inaccurate. In a sense, that's a good thing; it means that the whole operation doesn't go crashing down when a definition is invalid. I am trying to make sure this new parser can recover from similar errors without much issue. I had Code::Blocks in mind most of all, because it has the most to gain. My parser can/will be able to do two things that Code::Blocks' current parser cannot. First and foremost, coerce expressions. When you have map<string,myclass*> mymap, and you type mymap["something"]->, Code::Blocks *attempts* to display members of the previous class. However, instead of showing members of myclass (the mapped type), it shows members of std::map. My parser would be able to correct that problem provided only that it was capable of reading a basic definition of string, a basic definition of map, and a basic definition of map::operator[], all of which the old parser could do (if poorly since the break). My parser is also quite fast, not to brag. At least the old one was. If there were already a parser that could do this shit, I'd have found it. I'll be advertising fervently that my parser is capable of "all this shit."
Also, yeah, I read Ideka's comment too hastily. Point is, we have a grip on git, just not workarounds for the (well understood) problems it has introduced (however indirectly).

Yes, we're having some "Git problems." Ideka just suggested we switch to Mercurial, in fact, but it'd be pretty pathetic if some trouble with our choice of version control software was causing us all this hassle. In reality, there are a number of nasty things afoot.
Our only issue with git's capabilities is its inability to store binary files, something SVN never showed its issues with. The rest of the issues all had to happen eventually, it's just that by switching to git now, we've busted the grand problem piƱata.
The other issues are all related to deployment. What's worse is that a new STDC just hit the mainstream repositories on Linux, and ENIGMA's current parser doesn't get along with it. That timing is in itself bad, because I am just now recoding that parser anyway to be able to share code with ENIGMA.
Now, the rotten, dried up cherry on top of this shit sundae is that the forum's having email trouble, so new registrants can't get their confirmation email. I can't say whether this is related to the influx of new users whom we are only managing to confuse to tears with the endless--to borrow HaRRi's word--maze that is the installation process on ANY platform now. But there's that, too.
So, everything is tangled, and along with general bugfixes, IsmAvatar and I are working hard to untangle it. In addition to that, you probably can't see the progress from the forum because the project has been split into separate pieces now. The part of the parser I am working on is a separate project in itself now. I hope that this will improve its chances of being adopted by, for example, IDEs that need definitions for code completion. This is a large-ish aspiration due to the diversity of code with which the parser needs to be able to interface, but never say never.

MinGW fixed it, yes, but we won't be seeing it in the MinGW-get repo for, well, ages. So we'll need to grab the version they fixed and release it as a patch.

It seems to me that now that we have taken it upon ourselves to maintain a 7z of MinGW, we can pack ALURE and other cross-platform shit into MinGW/include.
We can maintain a separate zip of patches for people who already have MinGW installed. The patch will have include/ALURE, lib/libalure.a, and the patched windres.exe. We can also stick XAudio headers in there if we find any.
And, HaRRi, we need your github username for that.

Man, that's annoying. Rest assured, that problem concerns SVNkit, which we're moving away from. No one will ever have that damned error again as soon as we have a release from the Git.
