New OS X nightly

[Timo 6]

Hi
I've finally managed to (slash got round to) build VDrift properly for the first time since around July or whenever the gettext stuff was added, so I thought I'd put a nightly (bit of a misnomer really, isn't it?) up: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrift/f...g/download (use svn revision 1271).
I tested it on clean 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 virtual machines, so it should work on those systems. 10.4 is definitely not supported anymore - SDL2 doesn't support it. 10.5/10.6 aren't tested - I know I've had a bug report from 10.5 which I don't think I've fixed yet. I even tested the Xcode project very briefly - so that may work for other people as well!

Thanks Timo.

PS: I think we are long overdue with a proper release too (talking more to myself actually ).

Yeah, I reckon so. Need to sort out the updater first though.

When you have sorted things out, could you announce a string freeze so translators can make sure all strings have been translated?

The update situation is a mess. Sourceforge replaced their viewvc interface with some custom crap. Getting data snapshots over web seems to be broken since then, never worked for me at least.

Example (get latest XS data):
http://sourceforge.net/p/vdrift/code/HEA...ta/cars/XS

We would have to use svn protocol maybe? No idea how complex that would be.

An alternative would be to write a file grabber and pull each file separately :
http://sourceforge.net/p/vdrift/code/HEA...format=raw
http://sourceforge.net/p/vdrift/code/HEA...format=raw
...

Simpler file urls:

Directory:
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/vdrift/code/vdr...a/cars/XS/

Files:
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/vdrift/code/vdr.../XS/XS.car
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/vdrift/code/vdr.../about.txt
...

There is a complication with tracks having an objects subdirectory. So the grabber would have to handle directories too.
