I'd like to play the current development version on Debian. Is that possible? In the past I always just compiled it myself, but now bug #3783 prevents me from doing so. So I tried the recommended method from https://www.widelands.org/wiki/DownloadPage/#debianubuntu with the widelands-dev ppa, but on apt-get update, I get "E: Das Depot »http://ppa.launchpad.net/widelands-dev/widelands-daily/ubuntu focal Release« enthält keine Release-Datei. N: Eine Aktualisierung von solch einem Depot kann nicht auf eine sichere Art durchgeführt werden, daher ist es standardmäßig deaktiviert." and subsequent apt-get install will install the package from the Debian servers, i.e. build 20.

I wasn't aware that Ubuntu Focal was already released? Currently the PPA supports only: Bionic Disco Eoan Trusty Xenial. Edit: Build is running… Edited: 2020-04-13, 18:53

No, of course it's not working straight away. The buildlog reports missing dependencies. Unfortunately I have no clue whatsoever where in the repo this needs to be fixed…

Okay supposedly python2 has reached the end of its lifetime and that's why Focal has dropped support for it. I will try to just replace it with python3 and I hope that I will not break support for older distros with this…

PkK, I clone the GitHub repo and build from there. The repo has the build scripts you need and the prerequisites are few, and easily installed. WARNING: New-style view packet not found. There may be strange effects regarding unseen areas.

That only works with an old SDL. If you have a current SDL installed, it fails due to widelands bug #3783. P.S.: AFAIK Debian has a patch for bug #3783, used to build the Debian package, but I didn't try merging that patch on an upstream widelands source yet. Edited: 2020-04-14, 07:26

Apparently the instructions at https://www.widelands.org/wiki/Download/ resulting in unattended-upgrades being enabled on Debian. This morning I found my fans running high with an unattended-upgrades process taking 100% of a CPU core. Is there some way to just find the .deb behind that weird PPA stuff, so I can just install it via dpkg and avoid all those problems of having to deal with the PPA?

The reason why the PPA doesn't seem to be working for you is that your operating system is to recent. It tries to download a Widelands version compiled for 20.04 (Focal) which is not supported yet. I'm now trying to get that running, I'll ping you here when I succeed, then the daily PPA should work for you again. Edit: Alternatively you can go to The PPA here and download a package for an older distro, e.g. eoan Edited: 2020-04-14, 08:30
