Yeah! Still not even officially announced since the only developer who can do proper Mac builds is temporarily unreachable. > No changes besides a changelog bump are necessary to build Crawl > successfully. The packages would work, but: 1. there's no support for setgid installations anymore, so if you chmod Crawl anyway, second user who runs it will have problems. 2. there was a relicensing, so the copyright data has to be updated 3. advancecomp is a recommended Build-Depend 4. there are two broken symlinks (aptitudes.txt and crawl_manual.txt) 5. no need to keep an ugly workaround against a gcc-4.4 bug on powerpc 6. with no setgid, wizard mode can be safely enabled > Only problem is that it seems that Crawl 0.8 doesn't recognize any of my > previous Crawl 0.7.2 saves, but I'm unsure whether this is intentional or > not. No major releases was ever compatible with previous saves. There's a plan to _maybe_ make 0.9 able to migrate 0.8 saves, but there's no guarantee. The saving scheme has changed tremedously between 0.7 and 0.8. There's just one file instead of a load of them, any updates are done transactionally so a crash won't destroy your game, and so on. > Forgot to include this in my previous e-mail, sorry.

Hope it helps! :) The official distribution point is http://crawl.develz.org, although physically downloads of stable versions are still hosted on SF. Not sure which would be easier to parse, though, and your version is already done. > version=3 > opts=uversionmangle=s/\-nodeps// \ > http://sf.net/crawl-ref/stone_soup-(.+)\.t(?:ar.)?(?:gz|bz2) Good improvement, thanks! -- 1KB // Microsoft corollary to Hanlon's razor: // Never attribute to stupidity what can be // adequately explained by malice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
