[Bug 388127] [NEW] please upgrade to version 0.5 - it already works with dpkg install

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xmoto

Hi.

I have a dual boot setup with Ubuntu 8.10 on one partition, Ubuntu 9.04
on another, and a shared /home on a third. Kinda wanted to check jaunty
out before abandoning intrepid.


One of the things that's bothering me (besides no fglrx driver yet/ever) is an older version of xmoto (0.4.2-3) in intrepid, while jaunty sports 0.5.0-1:
 -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xmoto&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

This is a problem because leveling data is written to the joint /home
dir and then when I start xmoto in intrepid (after starting it
beforehand in jaunty), the game crashes after a blink of the opengl
framebuffer. A short message about needing a newer data package (xmoto-
data) is emitted to the console if launched from there.

I was quite able to install jaunty packages (xmoto, xmoto-data and
libsdl-net1.2) on intrepid by hand via dpkg -i, after downloading them
from the jaunty repository via packages.ubuntu.com. Tested it and it
works perfectly. So it should not be difficult to update the packages.

If you need more info or testing, please contact me; will be glad to do
it.

Thank you, and keep up the good work.


ps. if you know the person responsible for domains, please have him register and enable ubuntu.org. This .com-only thing is quite bothersome in the open-source world, and I mistype a lot. thank you.
