Please update package to Build 20

[GunChleoc]

We have just tagged a new release:

https://launchpad.net/widelands/build20/build20

Could you please update the Ubuntu package?

c.f. our daily PPA: https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/+recipe/widelands-b20

Thanks!

Build 20 was packaged in Debian and synced to Ubuntu Focal, which means it will be part of the upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 release (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/widelands/1:20-1)

For older Ubuntu releases, it is possible to request a backport (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports)

19.10 (eoan):
Added eoan-backports task. I've built and installed the packaged locally, it runs as expected.

19.04 (disco):
Not tested, though might need to do something here to ensure upgrade path from older releases. Although see below.

18.10 (cosmic):
Reached EoL. I assume this is exempt from the upgrade path...?

18.04 LTS (bionic):
Would be really nice. I don't know how backports are built, but the package requires debhelper 12 which is available in bionic-backports. Assuming the -backports archive is available at build time, this would work.

The package builds and installs. However, it fails to start with the following error message:

Graphics: Try to set Videomode 800x600
glewInit returns 1
Your OpenGL installation must be __very__ broken. Missing GL version

Caught exception (of type '10WException') in outermost handler!
The exception said: [/home/ubuntu/dev/widelands-20/src/graphic/gl/initialize.cc:138] glewInit returns 1: Broken OpenGL installation.

This should not happen. Please file a bug report on version build-20(Release).
and remember to specify your operating system.

Seen anything like this upstream?

16.04 (older LTS, still supported) (xenial):
The main problem here seems to be that debhelper 12 is not available, not even in xenial-backports. Either that needs resolving or I could help put together a slightly modified packaging for backport.

I guess focus should be on the latest release and the latest LTS release. If those get sorted out, we can see how far back in time we can go. :)

Or I would if the project existed. The wiki page talks about a request tool, I'll look into that.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

`requestbackport` failed too, possibly also due to `eoan-backports` not existing. I've filed bug 1852901 to follow up on this.
