Going back to 0.82.7.1 on Ubuntu 10.10

[Rubrick]

I'm using the ppa from https://launchpad.net/~spring/+archive/ppa. Recently, the engine was automatically upgraded to 0.83.

However, when I open the SpringLobby (v0.139), I am greeted with the message "No compatible installed spring version has been found, this server requires version: 0.82.7. Your current installed versions are: 83.0. Online play is currently disabled." Indeed, I cannot join battles now (and all maps are shown as disabled, except the ones from the Iridium Zero K host).

Unfortunately I seems I cannot downgrade anymore, because there is no version on the above ppa. Any help on how to do this?

I've got the same problem. Either an ETA to when .83 is stable and will be available (if it is known) or how to roll back would be appreciated.

To the powers that be: next time stick to the 'release going live' announcement, so I don't hurry up to build and deploy packages that prevent people from playing since release isn't going live on main server after all. Thanks.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install spring-common=0.82.7.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 spring=0.82.7.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu1

that doesn't work for me

Code: Select all

E: Version '0.82.7.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu1' for 'spring-common' was not found
E: Version '0.82.7.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu1' for 'spring' was not found

could it be that i am on 11.10 ubuntu and there is no spring 0.82.7.1 PPA for me?

@koshi: could it be that there are "beta/night-build" type releases and "normal" releases on PPA? I think i was subscribed to some PPA only for "normal" releases.

with every minute not playing spring i'm getting more confident that there is no Spring 0.82.7.1 in PPA for Ubuntu 11.xx.
PLEASE, could we have them? (at least before v 83 will be playable)

Same issu for me.
Is there a link to source code of the last release of SL? Then I could build it myself...

Thanks

Sorry det, that doesn't work for me - since that version is not available on Koshi's PPA. I think the packages you mention are for Ubuntu 11.10.

Maybe I'll just try to build one from source this weekend...

Do you have a link to the tarball??

[bashar]

Bah the last tarball I just found is the 0.139, and it's the one I have installed previously and that doesn''t let me play online with 0.83 release :'(

It's not that springlobby isn't you letting play online - it's the lobby server. Recompiling/Downgrading springlobby will not change anything. You have to downgrade the engine to 0.82.7.1 - that's all.

[Rubrick]

As dansan mentions, it's the Spring Engine you should build from source. Have a look at http://springrts.com/wiki/Download#Late ... e_Snapshot to get the tarball.

You can edit your

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/springproject.list

To change

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/spring/ubuntu karmic main

It should be ok for 82.7.1 for the last version.

huh yes of course...But...but...Why they release the 0.83 if we can't use it online? It's for beta purpose?

[koshi]

Why they release the 0.83

To the powers that be: next time stick to the 'release going live' announcement, so I don't hurry up to build and deploy packages that prevent people from playing since release isn't going live on main server after all. Thanks.

ok ^^

[bashar]

So I can wait for the release of the 83 on server, or downgrade from source.
Any tip about the time to wait before the server is upgrade to 83?

Thanks
