As David Henningsson explained, Ubuntu imports most packages directly from Debian, so fixing this in Debian will also fix it for the next Ubuntu version. I suppose this issue is (at least in part) the result of an unfortunate combination of incompatible release cycles though. Debian focussing on getting a release out every 2-3 years (and not having a focus on games during the last part of that cycle), Ubuntu focussing on 6-month release cycles (but being based on Debian) and you having your own release tempo. I wonder if it's possible to create a games repository for Ubuntu that has somewhat different rules from the existing repositories... (or maybe your game can be removed from the official repositories and moved into the "extra" repositories to make it easier to follow your release schedule). PS: I don't have anything to say about this, just trying to help you, your project *and* Ubuntu... :) -- Jan Claeys -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
