Gaim Win32 CVS Builds

About

These builds are automatically compiled daily at 10 PM Central Time by Andy Schmitz['s computer].

There are, of course, no warranties. None. You will not get any support for any CVS builds. They are simply here in order to give Windows users a glimpse of the upcoming features.

The builds are compiled using the Windows compilation guide available on the Gaim website. There have been a few modifications to the guide's instructions to allow building of Gaim 2.

Downloading

THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR CVS BUILDS. There is no guarantee that it will not fry your processor, insult your mother, or cause you to break out in a nasty rash.

That said, if you want to download the latest CVS build, you can just download cvs-latest.exe or cvs-latest-nogtk.exe. I also keep the latest week's worth of builds so you can download those as well. When you try to download any build, you will be directed to the Coral Cache version, so don't be worried about a redirect (this is to save my bandwidth, I'm on a DSL line).

Support

If you plan to use gaim CVS, PLEASE read this message in its entirety!

Gaim is a fast-moving project with a somewhat regular release schedule. Due to the rate of gaim development, CVS undergoes frequent bursts of massive changes, often leaving behind brokenness and partial functionality while the responsible developers rewrite some portion of code or seek to add new features.

What this all boils down to is that CVS WILL sometimes be broken. Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of assistance from the developers!) avoid CVS and use releases. Since releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but haven't gotten around to fixing.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact the gaim developers by email at gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #gaim, or via the sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim. Please do as much homework as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your question, the faster and more effectively we can help you!

Send patches to gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or post them in the Sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim.

Comments

Comments about the CVS building project can be emailed to me at andy.schmitz@gmail.com. I regret that I am not close enough to the Gaim code itself to answer any questions about CVS builds other than how they are made. Thank you.
