I can't connect to the gaming-(meta-)server. I tried it today, after I heard it twice in the chat, that people can't play online. Should be revision 5886. Is there a smart way to get the revision number? Widelands itself (in the start menu) says only "bzr debug", or something like that. Oh, yes, a question for the actual problem: Is the meta-server down or why can't I connect to it? (people with build15 had problems, too)

The revision number usually is printed to the lower right corner of the game's main menu - there should be something like "Version bzr5886[widelands](Release)". Otherwise, you can switch from fullscreen to windowed mode - and look at the title bar. If you have compiled widelands from source using a local bazaar repository, you can simply type Sorry, I do not have an answer for your other question.

Hi, First of all: the metaserver seems to be offline, indeed. Could you (or someone else) please ask janus in irc to restart it? For the problem with your version number: I completely agree with martin, however, as you mentioned, the version shown in Widelands is "bzr debug", I remembered that I faced a similiar problem - in my case the problem was triggered through a OS upgrade - python2.6 was updated to python2.7, while python3 was already the default python environment. It seems like cmake saved "python2.6" as executable name somewhere and tries to use it for catching the bzr revision. There is surely a cleaner way to fix this, however, I removed all cmake cache and contense of "build" and recompiled freshly with ./compile.sh - afterwards everything worked fine again. If this is your problem as well, we should perhaps post a bug report to fix the cmake build environment.

@martin: "bzr revno", that's what I was looking for. @Nasenbaer: Because I had a problem with the last build, I had to do a complete clean recompile. I even downloaded trunk completely again, so this build is "very, very clean". I am here on Arch Linux and python3 is default for a while, so it might triggered it, but again: I already did a clean build of Widelands. And I'll ask janus, if I don't forget it. Edit: Janus did restart the server. Everything works fine now.

server was restarted or crashed 8 days ago, so all running services were shut down. I've got no info about it, so I have not done anything until now. Services are up since 13:00pm, so have fun
