Minor issues with SCP Mantis
For some time, I've known about a few small issues with the SCP Mantis that I had been neglecting to report. Here they are:
  • The clock needs to be adjusted; it's currently about 48 minutes behind the correct time.
  • The Diff and File links in the Related Changesets section of reports seem to be broken. They point to an IP address rather than a domain name, and when I try to follow them, the connection simply times out.

Re: Minor issues with SCP Mantis
The server's time is wrong.  I don't have permissions to adjust this, nor do I personally know who to contact to adjust it.  I'll look/ask around though.

I think I've finally found a good use for my $0.99/month Atlantic VPS, I just set up WebSVN on it with a domain instead of an IP address.  Should behave a lot longer now.  If any of the other WebSVN integration isn't working now, please let me know but the links I tested seem to work fine at this point.  Won't matter once we move to Git completely though :)

Re: Minor issues with SCP Mantis
I would've expected it to just link to the icculus.org web interface (e.g. stuff like this), but this WebSVN's interface seems slightly more useful.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

Re: Minor issues with SCP Mantis
The Mantis SVN plugin doesn't have integration with ViewVC, which is the frontend on Icculus.  It is only compatible with linking to WebSVN, which I have no installed on a separate VPS.  Since it can be on one server, and remotely connect to another actual svn server elsewhere, this should work well enough for our needs.

Code: [Select]
revposix-7707@server:~$ date
Sun Dec  7 20:51:09 EST 2014
revposix-7707@server:~$

It's currently 5:52PM pacific for me, so the server time is fine.

EDIT:

Also, it's syncing with the official ntp servers:

Code: [Select]
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org

POSIX is fine, as is Rev or RP

Ah.  That one I can't fix.  ;)

Have you tried contacting (PM or email) Inquisitor?

Re: Minor issues with SCP Mantis
Not yet, haven't gotten around to it.  Is he the maintainer of the Indiegames server, or our account on it?

Re: Minor issues with SCP Mantis
Neither, strictly speaking.  But he can put you in touch with the indiegames server administrator, or forward your message.

Actually, let me send you a PM with more information.

  
Re: Minor issues with SCP Mantis
Hi! Let me know if I can assist in this matter.

Cheers,
