Need packages for Ubuntu 10.11 (Oneric)

[mungewell]

The PPA doesn't contain packages for this, so I tried with the Lucid
packages (which I already had downloaded).

The main problem is that the libenet package has changed names from
'libenet0debian1' to 'libenet1a', this means that the game can not find it
and does not start.

This can be fixed (temporarily) with:
$ cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
$ sudo ln -s libenet.so.1.0.3 libenet.so.0debian1

The game now runs OK, but 'arrow' graphics in menus are missing (white square shown)

The other problem is that the start menu link refers to
'/usr/local/games/speeddreams' when it's actually installed in
'/usr/games/speeddreams'.

Here's my take on this:
if anyone is going to deb package SD, it should be done by maintaining it for Debian.
Not only it would be available for all the Debian based distributions but as Ubuntu clones the Debian unstable repository for their releases, there wouldn't be a need to keep packaging for each Ubuntu release as it would be done by Canonical.
I wrote to http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2012/01/msg00050.html and from it we see that if it's packaged then there would be people to sponsor it (supervise and upload to the repo).

I can look at it but not only I still have to learn how to do it but my PC maybe doesn't even have space for that (yep, it's quite old) so I maybe would have to buy a new HD etc.

So I suggest if anyone from the team is willing to do so to contact the Debian game team, maybe just following up on that thread.

This is covered by the packages in the PPA.

Hopefully these can be incorporated into the main repo at some point.
