This is a judgement call by the > packager. Indeed, for Red Eclipse in Fedora I've taken the approach to do full updates in most (all so far) cases. The old client will still work with the online system provided you can find older servers and players, but there are normally few, if any, available, also upstream doesn't support older versions at all basically. On Debian and Ubuntu which upgrading like this seems to not be an option, hence I've been using backports there instead. But since this appears to be acceptable on Fedora (and backports don't exist separately), I reckon that it's more useful to Fedora users providing the latest. -- Martin Erik Werner <martinerikwerner@xxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ games mailing list games@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/games
