It's not so much about freeciv packager, but about Debian's general policy. They will not incorporate new upstream releases, not even purely bugfix ones, to their released versions. Since they had freeciv version 2.2.1 at the time when squeeze entered freeze (many months before release), 2.2.1 will be squeeze's freeciv version when it's retired. New freeciv releases usually make it relatively quickly to debian development version repos (latest is 2.2.7-2 at the moment) - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
