Two stalls hit CI in one night with nothing bounding them but GitHub's 360-minute default: 1. A silently deadlocked test host (2h41m before manual cancel) — the code fix is on #2525; this PR adds the guardrails that make any recurrence cheap and self-diagnosing. 2. A dnf step stalled mid-download for 12+ then 30 minutes. Probing the EPEL mirror pool directly: the **first** mirror in the current US mirrorlist returns consistent HTTP 500, and sibling mirrors serve mismatched metadata generations, while Fedora's status page reads all-green (it only tracks central services, not the volunteer pool). ## Changes - **`timeout-minutes: 30` on both jobs.** Verified live: the cap killed a stalled job at exactly 30:02 instead of 6 hours. - **`dotnet test --blame-hang-timeout 10m --blame-hang-dump-type full`** — a stuck test host is killed after 10 minutes and vstest names the in-flight tests with a full process dump; `TestResults` (including dumps) upload as artifacts on failure. A future hang produces a stack trace instead of a bill. - **EPEL setup follows the quickstart ordering**: `dnf-plugins-core` → enable CRB → `epel-release`. `epel-next` is no longer installed — none of the prerequisites need it (validated green on Stream 9), EPEL 10 doesn't have it, and it's one more mirrorlist to fetch. - **Matrix**: adds **Ubuntu 26.04 LTS**, **CentOS Stream 10**, and **AlmaLinux 10** (real-EL10 coverage); bumps **Fedora 42 → 44** (42 went EOL in May). README badges and the Linux prerequisites section updated to match. Kept deliberately simple per review: no retry wrappers around dnf — mirror hiccups are rare and the job cap bounds the damage. |

Getting Started
- Install prerequisite requirements
- Clone this repository (or download the latest):
git clone https://github.com/modernuo/ModernUO.git
- Open
ModernUO.slnto start developing
Building/Publishing
Interactive Mode (Recommended for new users)
Run ./publish.cmd (Windows) or ./publish.sh (Linux/macOS) with no arguments to launch the guided build tool. It will:
- Check prerequisites (.NET SDK, native libraries)
- Walk you through configuration and platform selection
- Build and publish the server to the
Distributiondirectory - Show deployment instructions for cross-compiled builds
Command Line
./publish.cmd [release|debug] [os] [arch]
os- Supported operating systemsarchx64- Intel/AMD 64-bitarm64- ARM 64-bit
Linux Prerequisites
Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky, etc
dnf upgrade --refresh -y
# RHEL-family distributions (CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky, RHEL) need CRB and EPEL enabled.
# Fedora skips this block.
dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf install -y epel-release
# Prerequisites
dnf install -y findutils libicu libdeflate-devel zstd libargon2-devel liburing-devel
Ubuntu, Debian, etc
apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y libicu-dev libdeflate-dev zstd libargon2-dev liburing-dev
OSX Requirements
brew install icu4c libdeflate zstd argon2
Running the Server
- Follow the publish instructions
- The
Distributiondirectory is portable — copy it to your production server for deployment - Run
ModernUO.exeordotnet ModernUO.dllfrom theDistributiondirectory - On first run, the server will prompt you to configure game data file locations
