1) engine and SL are fully debianized, so no need for checkinstall. Just apply patches.
2) for deps: apt-get build-dep springlobby spring-engine
3) someone just has to upload current revs for lucid to the ppa

yes it true, i have tryed in past to put spring on my ppa space, but i never goal to have a compilation on the ppa server (work at home).

you forget "apt-get source spring-engine springlobby" to have the source, with the debian tree.

may be i will re-try on future to put it on my ppa space, but actualy i prefere use precedent scripts.

I meant _the_ ppa

At first i use the spring ppa but he does not reflect every time last minor versions of spring-engine and put somes days to make major versions.

and look whats some strange gamers can do when waitting for update .... :)
