Anyone have a date it worked?  I\'ve tried current, 1-24, 1-25 based on some posts I found, but all give this error.

Also, shouldn\'t I be able to just cvs update -D 2005-1-24 ?  It hangs; I have to do the full checkout again and waste all that bandwith.  Any help with that syntax would be golden.

Anyhow, keep up the good work everyone!  If I can get enough people from my gaming group together, we might just look into writting some small-medium quest or such to help give back.

I think we\'re trying the same things. You can check out my post at the bottom of http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=14255&boardid=33&styleid=3&sid=f390119fefc4917e62be411647236523&page=1#15 - although I have not managed to connect yet.

Please update this thread if you find a date that works, and it\'d be great if you posted the whole chain of commands used to build the working version.

Edit: Oh my. \"1 days ago\" worked.

I see. I\'m not very experienced in building things from CVS.

At the moment, I only have the information in http://laanx.fragnetics.com/gentoo.php. How can I alter it to build from a day that is confirmed to be working? :S

Edit: I tried building the most recent CVS at first, but I was welcomed by the \"wrong version\"-error when I tried to connect to the server. At the moment I\'m compiling the source I got when doing \'$ cvs -z3 update -CAPdD \"9 days ago\"\'.

Edit: Still the same error - although the login-screen looked different this time. I\'m trying with \"10 days ago\" now.

Edit: Once again - the same error. I\'m trying the source from yesterday now, as another thread says that the client supposedly was working for a while not long ago.
