Spring RTS Engine

For Debian, it is best to susbscribe to

debian-devel-games@lists.debian.org

and write to them. For *buntu, there is no list, but you can join #ubuntu on [url]irc://irc.freenode.net[/url] and poke around.

Back to testing:

As libGLEW.so.1.3 is required and no checks for any alternatives are done,

ln -s /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.4 /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.3

will help you on Debian testing & unstable until spring checks for other versions.

The correct line for the control file so that Debian testing/unstable is happy is: Depends: libboost-regex1.33.1, libboost-thread1.33.1, libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1), libdevil1c2, libfreetype6 (>= 2.2), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.2), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglew1 (>= 1.3.4) | libglew1.4, libglu1-mesa | libgl...

Can you ask scott to make the debs depend on libglew1.4 || libglew1 , please? That would make it easier for Debian people.

Cool, thanks!

On an unrelated note, don't you guys have an IRC channel, somewhere?

To get back to the original topic, you can always get packages into Debian and *buntu as long as they follow the packaging standards and you find a sponsor to do a test and upload, for you. Especially Debian unstable and testing do have some packages that are explicitly marked as software undergoing...

Thanks, I will reply there, as well. It is always possible to put packages into the development 'branches' of Debian and *buntu, same as some software in the repos, especially in Debian unstable and testing, is simply marked as unfinished software. People who install those are aware that things migh...

I read it somewhere on the TA Spring wiki.

I will check my audio settings (I just installed Wine and didn't do much else to it), thanks.

Do you know if I can play with Windows clients when using the Linux one? The article I read definately claimed that only Linux2Linux worked reliably..

If your packages follow the current packaging rules, you can try to get your packages sponsored. Thus, they would enter Debian & *buntu directly. In case you need help with starting this process, poke me. I am not a DD nor a UD, but I know who to get in touch with.

Hi all, I am getting the error: DxSound: Could not create direct sound object with Wine 0.9.44 on both Debian testing & Kubuntu feisty and Spring 0.75b2. As I read that the native Linux port is not stable yet, I didn't try the Linux version. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!...
