Spring RTS Engine

Wouldn't those older versions have to be available somewhere? I certainly don't have those .deb files lying around locally. Example session: ~$ sudo apt-get install spring=89.0~11.10~ppa1 ... spring is already the newest version. ~$ sudo apt-get install spring=88.0~11.10~ppa1 ... E: Version '88.0~11...

Hmm... "It's simply not possible with the way spring packing is setup atm." Well, that's not really an answer, is it? When I'm browsing in synaptic through some of my installed packages, there seem to be plenty of them where I could force another version if I wanted to. So, as a complete n...

The feature request is already there: http://projects.springlobby.info/issues/39. It's only four years old, so I'm positive it will be done soon...

Well, too bad that it isn't possible using the Springlobby. I think I can feel a feature request coming...
