Get Alien Arena 2008 (v7.0) into hardy

[Carlos Diener / emonkey]

Binary package hint: alien-arena

Unfortunately a few days after the version freeze, the v7.0 came out.

If it's possible to get an exception it would be really cool.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/alien-arena (Now the version is there)

[Michael DePaulo (mikedep333)]

I think a very good solution is to get it into the backports.

[kahrytan (kahrytan)]

Good Idea because v6 crashes after the 2nd instant match map is finished. Thus, a broken game in Ubuntu hardy repos.

[Carlos Diener / emonkey (emonkey)]

I assigned the bug to the hardy backports, it's now too late to get it into hardy. Universe is completely freezed since this morning..

@Kahrytan:
Please add a new bug report about your problem. Otherwise it will not be fixed through the standard repository after the release.

new -> confirmed (please poke me if I'm wrong)

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Confirmed means tested. Someone now needs to test that it builds, installs, and runs in Hardy, say so in the bug and set it back to confirmed/triaged.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Scott ill see if it builds for hardy and ill let you know here what happens.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

It builds on Hardy and works fine as im testing the .debs now.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I'm pushing Hardy builds to my PPA for testing

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ack from ubuntu-backporters.

[Felipe Castillo (fcastillo.ec)]

I can't update my alien arena to 7.0 because the alien-arena-data package is still in version 6, but the alien-arena one it's in version 7. Since alien-arena depends on the data, i can't update it, why is that the data package doesn't exists?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

John Vivirito: Is there another bug for the data package?
