Getting locus
- Q: I have a very unreliable connection to your site.
Could you send me locus by e-mail?
- A: Sure, no problem.
- Q: I have a very unreliable connection to your site.
Could you post locus somewhere else?
- A: Sure, just choose the place.
- Q: Downloading new versions as fast as you make them
is a pain. Can you generate diffs?
- A: Well, I can, but not for every version...
A couple of diffs is here; if the one you need is not
there, ask me and I'll make it. Of course, real source control would be much
better, but I never did anything like that and I doubt I could organize
it...
Installing locus
- Q: It doesn't even start compiling on my great
(non-Linux) system!
- A: Sorry, locus is
Linux-specific.
- Q: My gcc refuses to compile your program.
- A: Get a newer version of gcc.
Sharing locus
- Q: Can I include locus in my comprehensive software
database, give it to my customers, use it to get money?
- A: Yes, get all the money you can. Why should I stop
you? (and how? :-) ) If you do get any money, please let me
know - I'd like to learn from you...
- Q: Can you maintain an entry for locus in my comprehensive
software database?
- A: No - looks like too much work to me... You can do it
yourself if you want.
Extending locus
- Q: Where's GUI? Am I supposed to use just a command
line and configuration files?
- A: Well, yes - until somebody writes a better
interface. And I don't like writing GUIs... But I miss it, too - that's
why I set up locus on Web server on my machine. It's
a bit complicated to install, but works OK.
- Q: Could you add something like <insert your favorite
stuff here>?
- A: If it's simple, chances are good...
- Q: If I add a feature and make a patch, will you
include it in future versions?
- A: Yes, in almost all cases (for example, I would not
accept a feature crashing the program half the time it's used, but as a rule,
I welcome improvements).
- Q: How do I compile locus with debug info? The Makefile
just makes no sense...
- A: The Makefile may be obscure, but its use is
quite simple.
