[Bug 335331] [NEW] The current build doesn't support GUIDs

[Lauri Niskanen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tremulous

Version 1.1.0-4.1build1 doesn't have support for GUIDs. These are unique
player IDs that helps managing servers. The support can be added by
installing the TJW backport build: http://tremulous.tjw.org/backport/

Many of the servers currently needs the GUID support and since the
Ubuntu package doesn't have that the players must compile the game by
their selves or download the prebuilded package that isn't in deb-
format.

The TJW patch is easy to add and there is no downsides. You will still
be to play with players who don't have a GUID.

I added the patch to the Ubuntu package and posted the results on my
PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ape3000/+archive/ppa
