| 23:09.52 | NurseDad_ | Is there a 2.4 version for ubuntu? |
| 23:10.27 | blast007 | no |
| 23:10.50 | blast007 | you will have to compile from source, or place your trust in some third party that provides a PPA |
| 23:11.05 | NurseDad_ | might be worth the effort with 20 million users |
| 23:11.18 | NurseDad_ | is there a 3rd party ppa |
| 23:11.26 | blast007 | there was one I saw, yes |
| 23:11.33 | blast007 | dunno for which version of Ubuntu |
| 23:11.57 | NurseDad_ | googling now |
| 23:12.34 | NurseDad_ | i havent plaed in years is there still a community |
| 23:13.17 | blast007 | the game is slowly dying |
| 23:14.09 | NurseDad_ | looks like ubuntu's ppa is for 2.0 |
| 23:14.21 | NurseDad_ | that is too bad such a great game |
| 23:14.22 | blast007 | there was one for 2.4 |
| 23:16.58 | blast007 | I see one from GetDeb |
| 23:17.30 | blast007 | http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=69201 |
| 23:17.44 | blast007 | should be similar for ubuntu |
| 23:18.10 | blast007 | what version of Ubuntu are you using, NurseDad_? |
| 23:19.51 | NurseDad_ | im using 12.04 |
| 23:21.03 | blast007 | ah, yeah, I don't have bins made for that one |
| 23:21.32 | blast007 | 2.4.x won't be part of Ubuntu until the next major release (if even then) |
| 23:22.14 | NurseDad_ | shame |
| 23:22.31 | NurseDad_ | i did find a ppa for it http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/getdeb_games/precise/games/getdeb/bzflag |
| 23:23.58 | NurseDad_ | guess I could try installing a windows version in wine |
| 23:24.08 | blast007 | eww ;) |
| 23:24.14 | blast007 | just build it from source |
| 23:24.17 | NurseDad_ | lol |
| 23:24.22 | blast007 | we provide instructions in the source |
| 23:24.35 | NurseDad_ | guess I could try |
| 23:24.48 | blast007 | I could probably build debs for the new ubuntu |
| 23:24.59 | NurseDad_ | that would be great |
| 23:25.10 | blast007 | but it wouldn't be signed or anything, and wouldn't install nicely |
| 23:25.22 | NurseDad_ | up datted versions in ubuntu and mint might save the game |
| 23:25.40 | blast007 | nah |
| 23:25.57 | NurseDad_ | why is it dying |
| 23:25.58 | blast007 | I believe the linux is our least popular platform |
| 23:26.00 | blast007 | that* |
| 23:26.07 | blast007 | windows is the most popular |
| 23:26.08 | NurseDad_ | really |
| 23:26.45 | NurseDad_ | i have never plaed on any other platform |
| 23:27.03 | blast007 | I primarily use windows |
| 23:27.45 | NurseDad_ | im a windows network tech. or at least I was |
| 23:30.22 | NurseDad_ | do you know if there any servers runn 2.0 |
| 23:30.27 | NurseDad_ | running |
| 23:32.05 | blast007 | just a few |
| 23:32.10 | blast007 | there's far more in 2.4 |
| 23:51.20 | NurseDad_ | ok thks for all the info |
