OpenTTD 1.1.1

Post by laci »

OpenTTD 1.1.0 is in the repository, but most of the OpenTTD servers use the latest version (1.1.1) and don't allow playing with older version. 1.1.1 isn't a security update, just bug fix release, but can you update it?

I think it would be great to update it in the repo as rolling release style, because without it, the game's internet mode is very restricted.

Please have a look at the SLKBUILD in /usr/src/openttd-1.1.0. If you really want a newer version you can change the version string in that file and try to make a package yourself (using slkbuild).
And of course you can contact the maintainer and ask for an update. As this is just a game I wouldn't really care about bugfix package updates only, but probably other devs have another opionion here :mrgreen:

Another option is removing OpenTTD from the repository. The generic binary version from openttd.org works without any problems, so Salix users don't need to build it from source.
