    Can we have a .deb pack for latest torcs?
    This will make installation on ubuntu (and all debian based system) much more easier.

    The best place to ask for this is in the tracking systems of the respective distro. There are packages for various distros available, a quick google seach gave me this site: http://pkgs.org/download/torcs, maybe there are more.

    Fun.
    On 'ask ubuntu' I was redirected to developer.

    Ubuntu has a long term of testing. So their 'software center' still contain 1.3.3 version. I spent a lot of time to find 1.3.6 in .deb or .ppa or some repository - without success.

    Is it really hard to pack the latest torcs in .deb ? (it is a question)

    I tried to do that with 'alien' (programm for fast packing tar.bz2 into various packages) but torcs crashes at start.

    Well, a bit later I installed it via terminal, but what about other users? It would be very good to simplify installation process in ubuntu.

    OK, Your logic is next: a lot of linux distros, so no time to pack for everyone and solution - is unified archive.
    My argument is: debian is the most popular linux ;)

    I hope to see the next release in .deb

    ... with respect, Jacob.
