Well, a source RPM would have been provided with the RPM packages, so I don't know how much of a problem that would be. But, I'll do a tarball anyway. > Use your judgment.

Well, actually the scheduler improvements would allow you to finish your turn naturally (i.e., without pressing 'Enter') when formations are in use. Otherwise, you would tend to get stuck near the end (delay and reserve are of no help in such case). But, if no one uses formations, then I guess it is no big deal. > My most recent game was with xconq from CVS with top ChangeLog entry > of "2004-08-21 Hans Ronne " and I indeed made it to > the end of game.
