HGM's Polyglot reference material

[Rebel]

Is there a definitive upstream repository for Polyglot somewhere? While I do see a repository or two on Github, but nothing published by F. Letouzy (original author) or H.G. Muller (author of updates in "2.x" version).

Dave, maybe there is something useful here -

https://rebel13.nl/download/polyglot.html
https://rebel13.nl/download/poly-1.6.html
https://rebel13.nl/download/books.html

There is also a mirror of my repository that has gone off line, at http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi . It hasn't been updated recently, but should be up to date for Polyglot, as I did not make any changes there in a long time. The version I worked on is in the 'learn' branch.

Interesting, Ed, though it seems that the download links are currently broken. For example, on page https://rebel13.nl/download/polyglot.html, both of the download links under Programmer Stuff (https://rebel13.nl/dl.html?file=dl/pg.zip and https://rebel13.nl/dl.html?file=dl/Poly ... e_code.zip) don't immediately resolve, they instead go to some synthesized "Multiple Choices" page, but then neither of those two choices actually permit the download either, they all just put me back at https://rebel13.nl/ instead.

Unfortunately,

Code: Select all

git checkout https://winboard.nl/gitprojects/polyglot.git

and similar tries failed for me ("fatal: not a git repository").

[hgm]

Try http://winboard.nl/git/polyglot.git . That at least is an existing directory.

I know, I will make them available, maybe today, that is, if I still have them.

Meanwhile you can use this:

Code: Select all

Contains the files you requested.

Unfortunately the GitWeb interface for my on-line source repository is down, and I haven't had time to repair it. But isn't Polyglot available as a Debian (source) package? I haven't done anything on Polyglot for many years, so one supposes that the latest changes I made should have trickeld through to Debian.

I consider Polyglot obsolete, and have focused on UCI2WB as adapter for XBoard.

Hello hgm!

So you wouldn't be the person to contact in the case of reporting issues, right?

Anyway, this:
https://github.com/ulthiel/polyglot
exists though and I openend the issue there. Perhaps bothering Milan Zamazal (maintainer for stockfish also) from Debian later.

In any case would it be right to assume, that apart from ulthiels (I do hope that he's the new upstream) contributions, that this is a stale project?

greetings

Well, I have a mirror repository at winboard.nl. I understand you have a problem with the epd function. I did not even know Polyglot could do that, but I can have a look at it when I have some time.
