warsow performs checks for new version

[Andrey Vihrov]

Binary package hint: warsow

When I start warsow, it informs me that it is outdated. It may be a problem, but I think warsow should not pop up that message because in this situation the package system is handling the upgrading, not the user. If we take Ubuntu's firefox for example, we can see that "Check for updates" menu entry is disabled.

What would be a much better option is if programs for which rolling updates are highly beneficial (such as Warsow, Wine, and so on) had a separate track that updates more frequently thane every 6 months.

[Andrey Vihrov (andrey.vihrov)]

Isn't the updates repository supposed for that?

By the way, this is easier than I thought - Warsow has a cvar named cl_CheckForUpdate that controls the behaviour.

This problem should be fixed in Debian with warsow/0.42.dfsg1-1. Waiting for sync, I suppose. As hardy is frozen, this will most likely not be fixed in the next release of Ubuntu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Intrepid Ibex.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages
