Okay, I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20request%20new%20packages, so this should be good. Patrick, please add to/edit the reasoning in the description as you see fit.
One thing that slightly confuses me is that the pvpgn changelog lists a 1.8.4 version, which doesn't seem to be referenced anywhere else. Maybe that is a pending release? ** Summary changed: - package out of date + Please backport pvpgn ** Description changed: Binary package hint: pvpgn - There are no up-to-date packages for PvPGN (current version 1.8.3 as of - July 18th) in Ubuntu (all versions). That makes what this package lists - as "latest release" (1.8.1-1.1) 10 months old. Not counting the patches - added by the Ubuntu developers, the version of the actual software is - just under one year old (released 1.8.1 was released August 17th 2007). + Hardy version: 1.8.1-1 + Latest version: 1.8.3 (changelog: http://pvpgn.berlios.de/index.php?page=changelog) - Upstream Changelog: http://pvpgn.berlios.de/index.php?page=changelog - News Archive with Upstream Release Dates: http://pvpgn.berlios.de/index.php?page=newsarchive + Reasoning: + - as per comment #4, the updated VCHECK entries will require less manual maintenance and configuration by users for new versions of games, which is otherwise required. + - Dune 2000 support was added. + - various bug fixes ** Also affects: hardy-backports Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: pvpgn (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Summary changed: - Please backport pvpgn + Please backport pvpgn 1.8.3 to Hardy ** Description changed: Binary package hint: pvpgn - Hardy version: 1.8.1-1 + Hardy version: 1.8.1-1 (Intrepid: 1.8.1-1.1) Latest version: 1.8.3 (changelog: http://pvpgn.berlios.de/index.php?page=changelog) Reasoning: - as per comment #4, the updated VCHECK entries will require less manual maintenance and configuration by users for new versions of games, which is otherwise required. - Dune 2000 support was added. - various bug fixes + + I imagine this should also be updated in Intrepid. -- Please backport pvpgn 1.8.3 to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
