Ubuntu Build?

I noticed that getdeb does not have the new bitfighter, should I wait, or should I try to build it on my own? (Not sure exactly how, but have a general idea.)
I just realized, my avatar seems to have fallen of the face of the earth as well.

Building is actually pretty easy, but I think(?) raptor is working on a couple different packages.(?)

I build for common RPM-based distros and Debian (but only as an experiment):

Ubuntu folks do all their own stuff. Usually you just have to prod them and they'll do it.

Mmm k thanks

Try building it; it's pretty much as easy as typing "make".

Easier said than done.

Yes, but not by much.

I just finished setting up Arch Linux, and I noticed someone already compiled it. Going to try it soon. If it does not work I will build it myself, hopefully. If I do make a deb I will post it here if you want lolz. It can not be much harder then setting up arch linux, that was quite the linux experience.

Okay, before attempting to make a deb, i compiled it and gave it a test run. Sadly, there was no sound and it did not like my mouse or keyboard.... Well, the mouse and keyboard worked for the menus but not in game (The reason I want to make a deb is just so I do it once and know how...)

I am sorry to say that creating a DEB can be harder than setting up linux...

Did you try the Debian 6.0 DEB I created here?:

As a last resort, you may want to check out the 'alien' script that will just convert an RPM to a deb. See here:

Try one of the RPMs at the Open Build Service, perhaps one of these that are build for other systems:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... x86_64.rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... x86_64.rpm

Note that 'alien' may not work perfectly - I'd say there's an 80% change it'll work

The deb you create works great, and so does my mouse and keyboard! Thanks a lot. Life is good.
Maybe you should put that on the download page.
