 Thank you for reporting these, but could you please report them (as 3
separate reports) to our bugtracker so we can keep track of them and
they won't get forgotten as "one email once sent to the mailing list":

Ok, this might be the reason, since there are no compatible games announced
right now.

OK, tcpdump reveals that freeciv loads the data from metaserver.

See also this forum post: http://forum.freeciv.org/viewtopic.php?t=7009

A message "no servers with your freeciv version" might be suitable.

yes, i tried that before.

What remains is:

starting problems from command line (wrong path/environment?)

no hint for missing servers in metaserver

no hint for gaming zone (?)



good luck

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)

Oh, your metaserver URL is missing protocal part "http://";.
In fact
1) Correct URL is "http://meta.freeciv.org/metaserver.phtml";, though
"http://meta.freeciv.org/"; should work at the moment.
2) It's the default metaserver, so no need to explicitly give it (in
server side you need to give "-m" if you want it listed to metaserver)

 I don't know, last couple of weeks I've had a lot of trouble with
freeciv.org DNS even with browsers. Occasionally
"http://meta.freeciv.org/"; has even lead me to wikia... (like
www.freeciv.org should) Also, remember that client shows only
compatible servers while browsers shows all.
And yes, due to nature of how dns information propagates, I've had no
trouble in connecting meta.freeciv.org from computer I've had remote
connection to same time as local machine has been unable to find it.

 "-t" doesn't take filename with path, but just  part from
.tilespec. So try with "-t trident".

By some coincidence, i just happened to have set up Squeeze on an old 
machine so i could have access to the Qt stuff i can't use on my Mac.  I noted 
that Freeciv in the Debian repository is somewhat behind the times - is there 
anything we can do on our end to encourage them to step up to a more recent 
version, or are we completely at the packager's mercy here?  Hmm, let me look 
up the packager.  In any case, i will poke around and see what i can find about 
these three problems.  I've a hunch #2 might have something to do with SELinux?

 Lets just say that bugs reported to gna will not disappear if we have
further server problems.

 We don't know yet if we are ultimately going to use gna or something
else, so gna may be just temporary solution. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
