It's unfortunately not that simple. We've always shipped the hedgewars server as part of our packages. To drop the server in a post-release update would not be acceptable. However, the Haskell language has changed enough since early 2010 that the current server will not build using the Haskell packages from 10.04.
Unless somebody comes up with a patch that allows us to build the 0.9.17 server on Ubuntu 10.04's Haskell stack, an SRU isn't an option. It may be possible to backport the package. However, due to the requirements of the backports project, one of 2 things would have to happen: either the maverick-proposed packages need to be verified in the next few days (in which case we would backport from maverick-updates to lucid-backports), or we need to wait a month until maverick is EOL (in which case backport policies allow us to backport from precise to lucid- backports). In either case, we need a patch to the packaging to disable the server so that the package builds on Lucid. In any case, there's a lot of work that needs to be done to get hedgewars 0.9.17 into Lucid, and I don't have the time to actively drive this anymore, so somebody else from the community needs to step up to do the development work. If there's nobody that can, then it may be time to accept that we can't offer current versions of hedgewars on an OS that's 2 years old. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/852603 Title: hedgewars << 0.9.17 can not engage in network play with current release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oneiric-backports/+bug/852603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
