I'm seeing the following error when I try to build 0ad 0.0.24b-1 locally in a hirsute pbuilder:

error: failed to parse manifest at `/build/0ad-0.0.24b/libraries/source/spidermonkey/mozjs-78.6.0/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  dependency (nix) specification is ambiguous. Only one of `branch`, `tag` or `rev` is allowed.
make[5]: *** [/build/0ad-0.0.24b/libraries/source/spidermonkey/mozjs-78.6.0/config/makefiles/rust.mk:299: force-cargo-library-build] Error 101

This causes the build to fail. It looks like we'll need to pull in this patch: https://github.com/0ad/0ad/commit/087a277e66c0456c2d6fdb7403d032ad09cbd18b

[Logan Rosen (logan)]

Hmm, after applying that patch a different error appears:

/usr/bin/ld: /build/0ad-0.0.24b/libraries/source/spidermonkey/mozjs-78.6.0/build-debug/js/src/build/../RegExp.o: in function `MOZ_ReportAssertionFailure':

make[5]: *** [/build/0ad-0.0.24b/libraries/source/spidermonkey/mozjs-78.6.0/config/rules.mk:606: libmozjs78-ps-debug.so] Error 1

Not quite sure what's happening here, but we can't sync 0ad in this state (although I unfortunately already synced 0ad-data).

[Oibaf (oibaf)]

Strange, it built fine in my PPA...

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

cargo version changed in the meanwhile...

Hi :)

Version alpha 25 released. Is the right way to go is to wait for Debian experimental to have it again?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992017

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

The easiest way to get alpha 25 on Ubuntu is to install the snap:

    snap install 0ad

Thanks to the people which made the package available to Impish (21.10).

Which is the right place to raise the question of having alpha 25 backported? Since the alphas aren't network compatible.

> The easiest way to get alpha 25 on Ubuntu is to install the snap:

It would be a better UX to have also the package up to date. Or maybe to not have an apt package and only the snap as a last resort if the maintenance burden is too high for multiplayer games (Minetest has also this issue).
Depackaging to rely on Snap should also be a big decision to take formally by the project.

I really hope it's possible to keep the package and have it up to date since it will in practice lead to everyone to have the right version to play with the rest of the community.
Without having to know to avoid the main installation method.
