The full tarballs for 1.8.3p7 are pennmush-1.8.3p7.tar.gz and pennmush-1.8.3p7.tar.bz2. The latter was compressed with pbzip2, a parallel bzip2 implementation that can take advantage of multiple CPUs/cores to speed up decompression. The file is compatible with plain bzip2 as well. If you have pbzip2, decompress the tar file with 'pbzip2 -d FILENAME.tar.bz2', and extract it with 'tar xf FILENAME.tar'. Otherwise, use 'tar xjf FILENAME.tar.bz2' to use bzip2. There's also a version in zip format for Windows users. The destination directory of the tarballs has changed: Instead of unpacking into pennmush/, files go into pennmush-1.8.3p7/ so they do not clobber an existing source tree. 1.8.3-patch07 is the patchfile to apply to existing 1.8.3p6 source trees. 1.8.2p8-1.8.3p7 is the patchfile to apply to existing 1.8.2p8 source trees. Read the instructions at the top of the file! gzipped and pbzip2-compressed versions of the patch file are included. Download then, uncompress them with gunzip, 'pbzip2 -d', or bunzip2, and follow the instructions at the top of the resulting file. Also please note that the old 'patch -p1' invocation has changed to 'patch -p0'. You can track PennMUSH via subversion, too: svn checkout svn://svn.pennmush.org/svn/pennmush/1.8.3/tags/p7 If you already have a 1.8.3p6 tree checked out of subversion, update via: svn merge svn://svn.pennmush.org/svn/pennmush/1.8.3/tags/p6 svn://svn.pennmush.org/svn/pennmush/1.8.3/tags/p7 You can also track up-to-the-minute fixes by checking out svn://svn.pennmush.org/svn/pennmush/1.8.3/trunk and doing regular svn updates. Tracking .../branches/devel instead of .../trunk gets you (Potentially unstable) new features as well as fixes. SHA1 checksums for the various files are in 1.8.3p7.checksums. There is not yet a GPG signature for the tar file.
