Debian and Ubuntu packages

[Promi]

For all the Debian and Ubuntu users out there:

http://www.playdeb.net/ has prebuild Ubuntu 12.10 packages for FreeOrion 0.4.2, so no need to compile the game from source

http://www.playdeb.net/software/FreeOrion

For Debian wheezy users it's not too hard to build a working FreeOrion package from the source packages. I had to build the bullet library from the main Ubuntu archive source package, too.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/libbullet-dev

Add this line to your sources list:

deb-src http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu quantal-getdeb games

Then you can run `apt-get source gigi` and `apt-get source freeorion`.

I have made prebuild binary debs for amd64, you can try them if you don't want to build everything yourself: http://www.teneon.de/freeorion.tar.gz

Building the i386 version should be no problem as well.

Edit: Apparently this is not the final version of 0.4.2, but some SVN revs behind, also have a look at Nagilums repository: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=7012 (which didn't work for me, yet)

The final 0.4.2 build is based on SVN 5771.

Hmm, looks like http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu doesn't exist. Is there a replacement?

[Promi]

It did exist when I wrote this topic.

Do you need the source packages? I still have them in my Downloads folder.

[Nagilum]

Yes, that would be very helpful!

I found a mirror:
