| Hello
in case you are wondering, Sunsite has pulled their big open source projects plug, thus pulling the http://aweb.sunsite.dk project page with them. This was warned back in April 2009, but I was given a loose agreement that the project could be allowed to stay on line.
It seems to have been silly of me to assume this would be followed through and thus did not put energy into making a backup site. So somewhere between October 16th and 19th, the main website, mailing lists and CVS went into limbo. I'm trying to get a hold of the main site and CVS, so Andy Broad and Frank Weber can get going again as soon as possible elsewhere.

That's not good I assume Andy and Frank have a reasonably up-to-date local copy of the CVS anyway, which at least saves the source if not all the history? _________________ "Miracles we do at once, the impossible takes a little longer" - AJS on Hyperion Avatar is Tabitha by Eric W Schwartz |

I have totally upto date sources trees here. And all the release archives from 3.5.02 onwards (OS4 & 68k)
BTW there is an unoffial OS4.1 build here:
http://webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/aweb/
beware that it requires 4.1 (ie not 4.0)

| There is apparently a backup, but I've not yet received it as they need to dig it out. |

So let me get this straight, Netsurf, OWB, Aweb, Voyager and IBrowse, and now Timberwolf. Would it not be easier for those looking after IBrowse, Aweb to join forces in the timberwolf development or OWB development? |
Then who should the author of Merlin join up with? Heh.

I have obtained the backup (a 145 MB tar file). I'll try to make some sense of it later today.
Edit:
The archive contains the site in its original structure, all binaries, tools and nightly source backups, so it should be fairly quick to put up elsewhere as long as it's an Apache/PHP environment. There is no CVS, but Andy has, if I'm not mistaken, expressed a desire to move to SVN and start from scratch.
The question is now where to host it. Last edited by HMK on 12-Nov-2009 at 08:19 AM.

The agreement was never formally stated as it was based on a miscommunication between me and a Sunsite staff member, which is my fault. The equipment to serve projects has been taken down, so there aren't going to be any more serving from their location. |

| AWeb for OS4,1? Must try it later. It did fly on the XE before installing the new OS and lost all apps. (Had to reformat) |
