Re: Request for BA repo transfer from Bluestone

@ Bluestone – if the intention is to keep the commit history intact, wouldn't a viable solution be for yourself to fork the BA repo, and then transfer the original to Ares? It's an organization, which means its not just repositories - there are some overarching settings, historical info of members/...

Re: Request for BA repo transfer from Bluestone

My "compromise" suggestion: I could rename github.com/balanced-annihilation to smth else, which would preserve its setup and history etc as an organization intact - you can't copy github organizations, you can only copy/fork/import individual repos. Then Ares or anyone else can own github....

Re: Moderator powers abuse against BA

Yes the first post of that thread is locked, and you should respect moderator actions that come with merging two threads (on the same issue) whilst intentionally preserving the titles.

Re: Request for BA repo transfer from Bluestone

I cannot understand why Bluestone refuses to give the BA github repo to Ares as (afaik) he is the legit BA maintainer now. That's not right imo, Bluestone is not related to BA anymore since many years. We all know Ares is Ares but two wrongs don't make a right. I have two reservations, both mention...

Re: BA should not be owned by engine

I removed them both (as external collaborators) after noticing they were still there but presumably don't want to be. I've no idea why your bot thinks they were added - they weren't. See e.g. the audit log All together now, singalongabadev You can commit. You can make BA releases. You could have sta...

Re: BA should not be owned by engine

As said , if in the long run you want to own the repo that BA9/10 created, all I'm hoping for is visible progress towards your own stated goal. Ill-informed personal attacks on me and my motives won't get you anywhere. It is usually a bad idea to try that on someone who you're trying to persuade to...

Ok, can't currently see where to give that, I'll look into it. Edit: should work now.

Re: BA should not be owned by engine

I've already made it clear where I think the bar for giving away the old repo unconditionally should be once the playing community is on 104 or is clearly getting there, I'll remove myself and transfer ownership. I don't think it is met at the moment, or at least if it is I have no evidence of it. I...

Re: BA should not be owned by engine

(1) VBS already has full access to the repo and has committed to it, as you would know if you had bothered to check https://github.com/Balanced-Annihilation/Balanced-Annihilation/commits/master (2) You were also sent the same invitation as VBS, both sent 15 days ago, offering you the same level of a...

received the code verification email but there was nowhere to enter it in the client ... when I tried the SpringLobby client again as if by magic I had the T+Cs popup and the place to enter the code. All good now. You are asked to enter the code, and accept the ToS, on your first attempt at logging...

Re: Request for BA repo transfer from Bluestone

to someone who is an active part of the BA community Please give the github account name of at least one competent git(hub) user. For now I'll give commit rights, to a handful people if that would be helpful. If you want to rearrange the repository that's up to you. I would ask that you keep BA10.x...

Re: The end of the maintenance branch -- "BA" questions

will you allow BA to have their own website from Flow? I couldn't care less, knock yourselves out. I only even knew it existed because of the last time you had an argument over it. The limit of my interest extends to https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=594466#p594466 and even that's generou...

Re: The end of the maintenance branch -- "BA" questions

More useful in this scenario would be to say "Apple stopped updating/maintaining opengl support" This is a fair point, but for completeness you should add - the newest OpenGL version that Apple supports was released *in 2010*, and support for even that has now been deprecated for 2 years....

Re: The end of the maintenance branch -- "BA" questions

Bluestones efforts were good. However, due to being a backport of BA10 rather than port of BA9 BOTH exist (not all by me) since 1+ years - players requested reverts of BA10: https://github.com/Balanced-Annihilation/Balanced-Annihilation/commits/master - minimal port of BA9.46: https://github.com/ph...

Re: Who Can Set Minimum Engine Version?

I simply don't understand how one has any bearing on the other.
I don't think I can/should make that judgement, others are best placed to - e.g. viewtopic.php?p=590818#p590818

Re: Who Can Set Minimum Engine Version?

I'd add my support if/when either: - It's clear that "enough" non-absent engine/infra developers want that. - I felt confident that no significant future engine development will happen. (At which point, I don't stick around - but I don't think this condition is met right now. I guess games...
