You're probably right that it's the quickest way, but so far I've been successfully resisting the temptation to get involved in Debian packaging -- I already have too many commitments as upstream... > As soon as Alioth and the git repositories are back online, I can try to > package 2.4.1. I hope there aren't too many changes. Since 2.4.0 is already packaged, I *think* 2.4.1 should be a straightforward rebuild. I don't see anything scary-looking at <http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-2.4.1#Build.2Fportability> nor any significant additions to doc/README.packaging. > I can't promise that the new release will be uploaded in time before > the 6th of February.
