[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 982534] Re: Please remove wesnoth-1.8 from precise

[Gerfried Fuchs]

One reason is that people can finish their campaigns that they started
in 1.8 before they do the upgrade to 1.10 - but still can upgrade their
ubuntu system without troubles. Also, the 1.8 stable tree is still
supported upstream, some people are still playing it, and it is not
possible to play multiplayer games with different stable versions, so
having only 1.10 in precise would force others to upgrade too, to
continue to be able to play with you.

 Personally, I am fine with either: precise will be a LTS release, and
1.8 will probably be phased out upstream before precise reaches end of
life. I'm fine with whatever gets decided here. I am uncertain myself,
otherwise I would have done the decision already. :)

So long,
Rhonda

Title:
  Please remove wesnoth-1.8 from precise

Status in “wesnoth-1.8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  wesnoth-1.8 is the old stable version of Wesnoth. It's obsolete
  because wesnoth-1.10 is the latest stable version and has been synced
  to precise from Debian.

  Having both versions in Ubuntu is confusing.

  Please also blacklist wesnoth-1.8 since it's not been removed from
  Debian yet.
