That would be awesome. I've been running this site since 2002 and would be
able to host a netrek server long-term.

netrek-server-vanilla 2.17.0 was released.

http://quozl.linux.org.au/netrek/
fbda5413e71f2553564e4733c7272198  netrek-server-vanilla-2.17.0.tar.gz

Also available on

http://netrek.org/files/Vanilla/

This is a yearly maintenance release, and has been briefly play tested
on x86_64 and i386.

There is some suspicion that robotd may not play well on x86_64, based
on recent mailing list threads.  We welcome fixes.

Next up for 2.17.1 should be a fix to build on stable operating system
platforms.  2.17.0 is built on a testing distribution.

2a389a965d31e7e43fa0483f1ecf12ec  netrek-server-vanilla-2.17.1.tar.gz

This is a fix for building on older or more stable operating system
distributions.  It was made by fetching the source on a Debian Lenny
chroot and running autogen.sh and "make dist".  It was tested on Fedora
11 and CentOS 5.
