[Resolved] Game Ppa Ubuntu 10.10

[themixturemedia]

Hey there I just tried the PPA for 0 A.D. and it will not work comes up with this error when I try to update

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/wfg/0ad/ubuntu/di...urce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/wfg/0ad/ubuntu/di...d64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I really think this should be fixed asap since 10.10 will be out next month

For now we don't have a version for Ubuntu 10.10. And since we'll have a new Alpha out at about the same time as the new Ubuntu version I'd say it's more important to get that working than having this version work on a not-yet-release version of an OS. That said, if you're really interested in having the present version of 0 A.D. running on on 10.10 you can always compile yourself: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/LatestR...ompilingonLinux

Will the new alpha work in 10.10???

[themixturemedia]

Can I get a answer to my questions please....

[themixturemedia]

Can someone please tell me I would really like to play and I do not want to compile this game.

Sometimes a question is not answered because the answer is unknown. That said, we're investigating it and hopefully it should be available on Ubuntu 10.10.

The next release version should be available for Ubuntu 10.10, and the development snapshot PPA already provides a 10.10 version, so if you want to try that out. Though as it is a development snapshot the warning about 0 A.D. being an application in-development applies even more of course. Things should work, but a release version should be more stable. That said, feel free to try it out and please report any crashes.

The 0ad.dev PPA has packages for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick but they failed to build.

The Ubuntu packages work fine now. However, why they are built from the svn rather than from the released tarballs (I see all texture files rather than the public.zip)?

Also to avoid using using older/newer data files, 0ad package for 0.0.0+r08319-xxx Depends should be changed to something like:

0ad-data (>= 0.0.0+r08413~), 0ad-data (<< 0.0.0+r08414~)

According to the person responsible for the packaging that's just the name that's wrong they should contain the correct version. It still seems like it's wrong since it's SVN rather than the released files though, so I've asked him to fix it.
