Ubuntu: Where is 0.96?

Post by Pithikos »

I have been away for a while and now I felt like playing again but I seem to be able and fetch the older 0.95 from repository?

There is also a thread on the static package bellow but there is not any guide. How can I use the static package? I just replace the normal installation files(where are they?) with this package? How do I link SpringLobby so it stops whining about the version of spring?

Hello,

96.0 is available in Debian unstable but not for Ubuntu 14.04 yet because Ubuntu is in a feature freeze now. See this sync request on Launchpad.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1280446

In the meantime you can grab the package from Debian unstable directly

https://packages.debian.org/unstable/spring

Actually I have 12.04. Never the less I have added the spring repository but only 95.0 is provided still.

I tried your method but I don't meet a dependency: fonts-freefont-ttf.

I downloaded the deb package for that but it gave me errors when installing from the Software Center. So I ran:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure fonts-freefont-ttf*.deb
Then when I open the spring package from Software Center it asks me to repair the library or something. I accept and then after "repairing it" I am at square one: "Dependency is not satisfiable: fonts-freefont-otf" :(

i have a laptop with ubuntu 12.04 and an ati mobility radeon 3650 gpu.

reinstalled spring using this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:spring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spring

as referenced here

and it got springlobby 0.168 and spring 95.0.

To play with 96.0 i got the 64 bit static binary for linux here. Unpacked it into some local directory and then i went to springlobby > edit > preferences > spring and changed the spring executable location to that "spring" binary instead of the default one.
