@hoover:
Oh, you’re welcome. I only did the first version that was written in Perl way back during my Uni days, that must have been the late 90s (hey, another 20 year anniversay coming up :)) . Don Scurlock came up originally with the concept of “stringing all the GPL tracks together” to form your benchmark time of the provided replays.
Brian Wong, Ed Hut and others then re-wrote the entire thing in php and now it’s in a state of Limbo I’m afraid as we’ll have to move to a new server soon. As the php stuff is positively ancient (php3.x) naturally it won’t run on a modern Linux distro (we’re currently hosting on Solaris), so any help with the migration would be very welcome as the original authors of GPLRank v2 seem to have lost all interest in both GPL and the ranks. MY php-fu is too weak and doesn’t go beyond the few obvious hacks one would try…
All the best, Uwe
Uwe,
I recommend asking for volunteers to support GPLrank at the Sim Racing Mirror Zone forum at srmz.net. This is an active GPL forum with several posts per day.
