AFAIK Karth is no longer maintaing BRMH. There have been no source changes in 3.5 years (since 03/25/00) so unless anyone objects I'd like to take over maintaining this client. I have a few questions regarding RES-RSA: I downloaded rsares-rsa-2.9.2.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.netrek.org/pub/netrek/ The INSTALL file says to run './configure; make mkkey' to create the client key generator program. Ok first I had to hack the configure.in and run with: ./configure --with-gmp=./gmp-4.1.2 --libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include to make it happy. Then it could said during configure: checking for mpz_fdiv_q_ui in -lgmp... no I don't know what version that funtion was for but it isn't used in gmp-4.1.2 Anyways the configure still completed fine. The INSTALL says to then run "make mkkey" but this is redundant since mkkey is generated by the ./configure script running. INSTALl then says: "Run the mkkey program in your client source directory with the appropriate arguments. It will create rsa_box*.c files and the RSA keypair needed to build an RSA-enabled client." That is all the documentation I could find with the res-rsa package. However the brmh-2.4.0 INSTALL file says: mkkey key_name client_type architecture/OS creator comments So I think it would be a good idea for this extra documentation to be merged into the res-rsa INSTALL file. Anyways I am a bit confused as to how I get the secret key that I've just created blessed? Do I send my secret key to someone on this list and then my newly compiled brmh-2.4.0 client will be able to connect to the metaserver servers? Also when I make documentation and/or source changes for brm-2.4.0 how do I get these uploaded to ftp.netrek.org? Also I found some documentation errors as well as defunct links for Vanilla and res-rsa stuff so how do I go about getting these changes uploaded as well?
