Hello James and other.

I'm working on a vanilla server package. However, i'm facing some problems, 
just joininig the list for example :-)

Ok, now for the real problems:
1) is RSA stuff still needed ?
from what i understood, res-rsa is a distinct software that once had some 
legal problems being exported in Europe. However, given sourceforge URL 
http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?group_id=968 doesn't exist 
anymore, and latest file found on netrek.org date fr
Hello James.
I'm working on a vanilla server package. However, i'm facing some problems, 
first one being unable to join mailing list :-)

And list page (https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/vanilla-list)is 
unreachable (timeout)

Actually, it seems there is a problem with the whole subdomain us.netrek.org: 
my first mail to quozl at us.netrek.org bounced back

Ok, now for the real problems:
1) is RSA stuff still needed ?
from what i understood, res-rsa is a distinct software that once had some 
legal problems being exported in Europe. However, given sourceforge URL 
http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?group_id=968 doesn't exist 
anymore, and latest file found on netrek.org date from 2000.
Configure script find those utilities while i had not installed anything 
(configure says "checking res-rsa/configure... RSA utilities found", and 
config.log only says configure:2782: checking res-rsa/configure). I already 
have a rsa man page coming with openssl, so i have the impression it has 
since been merged into other project.
Anyway, if it is separate software, i prefer to package it separatly, and 
make vanilla depends on it

2)0-sized png file in Vanilla/rpm
-rw-------    1 guillaum guillaum        0 jui 26  1999 netrek.png
I guess this is an icon suitable for the gui config tool, right ? Maybe it's 
also available somewhere else in the archive

3)and it doesn't compile :-(

I use the "infamous' gcc-2.9.6, maybe it could be a reason ?om 2000.
