[Scummvm-devel] SF.net: Changed policy on snapshots

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

I just was made aware of the fact that SF.net changed it's TOS  
regarding nightly snapshots. See also  
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=1109940&group_id=1&atid=350001> and  
<http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?group_id=1&docid=4297>

The bad news: we aren't really allowed to host them on our web space  
anymore. Well, we can still do it, but we are expected to move away  
from this.

The good news: it's apparently now possible to host them in the FRS. To  
quote: "Our snapshot service allows the rapid posting of nightly  
snapshots to the File Release System, improving download performance.  
Automated tools are provided for maintaining project snapshots"

I do not yet know how that system works, but I have posted a SR  
regarding this:

Cheers,
