This actually is an issue in the nexuiz-data package, not nexuiz. Furthermore, I just yesterday uploaded a version to Debian unstable (2.4.2-2) which includes a patch to disable the version check. It is pretty small (just some #if 0 and #endif in one file), so you might want to use that patch for all releases of nexuiz-data in Ubuntu.
Please also notice that you might want to also adopt the small change I did to debian/rules about moving the patch-stamp dependency from the build target to the build-stamp target to ensure that patching is done *before* building. Find attached the patch that I pushed into Debian stable which is a minimized version of the patch that I pushed into unstable where I also did some other small changes, but I guess you get the idea and can figure out which way you want to go. ** Attachment added: "interdiff from the Debian stable upload" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28238647/nexuiz-data_2.4.2-1%2Blenny1.interdiff ** Changed in: nexuiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Nexuiz demands a user to update to a new version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to nexuiz in ubuntu. Status in “nexuiz” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nexuiz Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 nexuiz: Installed: 2.4-1 Candidate: 2.4-1 Version table: *** 2.4-1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status When you start Nexuiz (freshly installed via Ubuntu repositories in this case), it seems to check for an update and continues to nag the user with a yellow rectangle which says something like "Upgrade to Nexuiz 2.4.2 now!". While this probably is a good thing for online gaming compatibility etc., it should probably be disabled like in Firefox or Warsow. _______________________________________________ Pkg-games-ubuntu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-ubuntu
