Hi all

It's been a while since the last time i played Spring.

I bought a new computer last week and i get back to Spring after installing Ubuntu 11.10 on it. I played a couple of "chicken" matches and it was fun.

By some other causes i reinstalled it yesterday to Debian 6 Squeeze, and i installed again Spring and Springlobby from the Wheezy repositories:



All dependencies were satisfied.

Now i realize this Springlobby version doesn't provide the "Dowloads" tab, which was available on the Ubuntu Springlobby version (from ppa:spring/ppa), and it lacks the functionality to automatically download games and maps to their respective folders, and I must do it myself each time (not too much effor but i was pleasantly shocked with the new Spring functionalities and now I miss it).

Is this a normal situation on Debian? Why is not that feature available on Debian and it is on Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance

PS: (edit) I forgot to mention I spent some time looking for an answer on the forums and i did not found anything.

in case nobody knows a solution see here viewtopic.php?f=64&t=25464 to report it as a bug/feature request

Iirc debian guys needed us to add a openssl exception to our license to allow the build to link against libtorrent. We technically couldn't do this because not all SL authors could be reached to agree to said license change.

very nice

Well, last night i tried to compile version 0.141 from source resolving all dependencies, even the torrent-rasterbar one, and activated the torrent option variable when executing CMAKE.

I compiled succesfully but no "downloads" tab appeared, so i think there could be something more than a "license agreetment".

If you've previously run a version without downloads you need to reset perspective from menu

Wow, i'll check that. I'll tell you the results.

Thx!

Yep! That worked!

Thanks!

Ill leabe here my notes to make them useful for everybody:
