[DGD] subversion repositories

[Bart van Leeuwen]

Resubmitting this message, something went wrong in the address.

I made 2 svn repositories available (public read access, no username etc needed)

svn://wotf.org/dgd-devel

Contains a 'vanilla' dgd 'development' version (currently at 1.2.144)

svn://wotf.org/dgd-devel-net

Contains a patched version of dgd that includes the 'network patches' (ie,
support for outgoing connections etc) and the ansi patch

I'm currently aware of 2 problems with the network code, one of which I'll fix
this week.
1. 100% cpu usage but a responsive mud isn't a good alternative for the mud
hanging untill a connection attempt times out.
2. ports also count as a user, with the result that it is possible to run out
of users before running out of connections. When this happens any new
connections stay in a limbo state untill a user becomes available. Also
potentially hogs the cpu.

The second issue can for now be prevented by 1. allocating enough users in the
config file, and 2 ensuring in your lib that ports + connections <= users.
I intend to fix this issue by adding a 'ports = num;' line to the config file.

Bart.
