2.3.1 for Ubuntu Lucid?

[digitalhead]

I've been looking all day trying to find a DEB of 2.3.1 for Ubuntu Lucid. I know I can compile it from source, but I would much rather use a DEB installation for easier and cleaner upgrading. Anybody know where I could find it?

the warzone package seems to be maintained by a motu, i dont know which dev, or contributor does it...

Of course, the official repo is using 2.2.4 "for stability", that's why I went to playdeb.net to get 2.3.0, but it's not compatible for online play, which is the main reason I decided to try the game. Seems like all the best games are at least a version behind in the Ubuntu repos, which breaks it for online playing. According to the Launchpad page, there was a bug filed about the version in the repository and 2.3.1 is "in development" for Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 and the bug was marked as fixed... Just doesn't do me much good since I prefer a stable operating system.

hmm.. you could compile it for yourself, make a package and install it

\edit: afaik, 2.3.0 is compatible with 2.3.1

When I hover over a game in the lobby of the multiplayer screen, it has a tip bubble saying that it is incompatible.

Not a problem.

So, am I just left with compiling it myself?

You could get the source for the 2.3.1 Ubuntu package, and rebuild it for your system (if it doesn't install as is), which deals with all dependencies and packaging. That basically consists of adding the repo with 2.31, then "sudo apt-get build-dep warzone2100; apt-get source warzone2100; cd warzone*; dpkg-buildpackage -b", and then you have some packages. But for the details you have to ask someone who knows Ubuntu.
