Wish: please update Nexuiz to 2.5.1

[PowerUser]

Binary package hint: nexuiz

This bug is a wish:
 Now Ubuntu supplies Nexuiz 2.4.2 by default and it's pretty outdated.
 Right now Nexuiz 2.5.1 is available and
 1) Nexuiz 2.5.x servers are not fully compatible with 2.4.x clients in client-server interaction. Most of Nexuiz servers updated to 2.5.x versions. Hence, those who uses 2.4.x clients may encounter weird gameplay experience.
 2) Lots of things changed between 2.4 and 2.5 and 2.5.x got a bunch of new features, bug fixes and improvements.
 3) Usage of outdated 2.4.x by Ubuntu users causes unwanted troubles to servers administrators, players, etc since many players are using Ubuntu now.

What about the Ubuntu repository? In Ubuntu 9.04 its still only the 2.4.2 downloadable Sad Since 90% of the new players come to Nexuiz through Ubuntu its quite a serious issue.

I agree, we should have at least version 2.5 in the repository. While Nexuiz 2.5 is indeed available at http://www.getdeb.net/app/Nexuiz I think many of us would prefer Ubuntu as the source.

I also agree with the upgrade request. There is a floating image in the game informing users to upgrade to 2.5.1, but unfortunately many users dont want to compile from source, and don't know where to get the latest release. It would be worth updating in the repositories.

You do not have to compile source, at least on i386 and AMD64 since there is pre-built Linux binaries. However, manual unzipping to home directory is not a great way to install applications on Linux (and updates will not be tracked by package manager, etc). Proper way is to install application is package manager. That's where it fails because of ancient version which is NOT SUPPORTED by upstream anymore...
