Question regarding 0ad on debian repository

[Raf]

I was wondering how long does it typically take for the debian repository version of 0ad to update to the latest version?(v27). I prefer deb packages so I am willing to wait. I was just curious since version 27 released early in the year and it hasnt updated yet in the debian repository. thanks!

The current version of Debian, Debian 13 (Trixie) includes 0ad 0.27.0. There is also 0ad 0.27.1 available in trixie-backports.

If you run an older version of Debian you either need to upgrade Debian or install 0ad from another distro-independent source, like Snap, Flatpak or AppImage, as detailed on https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/GettingTheUnixRelease.

oops i forgot to mention debian based distros. Linux mint debian edition specifically, i didn't see version 27 there.

You could ask on the Linux Mint forums. I think they endorse using Flatpaks there.

I would also consider using Debian proper. It now comes with non-free firmware by default, and it's easier to use than ever.
