Ubuntu 12 installs Spring version 85. Useless without 91.0

[gurhur]

Hi,
The Ubuntu 12 install instructions only give you Spring 85 version.
(Same as what's in Synaptic)
Then when you run Spring you get:

" No compatible installed spring version has been found, this server requires version: 91.0
Your current installed versions are: 85
Online play is currently disabled."

Translated: Useless!

i guess you've to add the ppa:

[wangzc2009]

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

seems that still happens:

<canoe> how do i update my version
<canoe> the package is version 85 and it says i need 91
<[2up]knorke> what did you download?
<canoe> the ubuntu package
<canoe> like apt-get spring
<[2up]knorke> and there was spring engine v85 inside?
<canoe> yes

can it be updated or something?

I'd propose that maintainer of spring ppa should go harrass the spaceman people into using a modern version.
