OK folks, 0ad 0.0.22 is now in the main MX repository, ready for you to give it a try! So it seems that alternative way of building and cross-compiling packages, then signing them after the build, did indeed work. I already had the system set up some Stretch pbuilder thingies, too.

Kind of technical to set up, I reference it in post 8 of this thread. Here's a zip of the .pbuilderrc file in my home; you can probably use it, too. I think I'm using a different qemu package, though, let me see what I have installed.

Hmm...I think qemubuilder might be what I have that's working--I have a lot of qemu packages installed, though.

Then the commands that I used to build a package are Then I copied all the files out of the results folder and signed the changes files with There's also an auto-debsign flag you can try adding to the command (see pdebuild's man page), but it only worked 1 out of two tries so far---but I may have done something wrong. More testing!

Also note that you just get a generic Jessie/whatever build platform, unless we manage to hook the MX repos to it per that blog post. I haven't tried yet. So nothing like debhelper 10 is in there.

thank you stevo, very good job

Does it seem to be working OK, taking into account that it's still an alpha release?

well, until now all the alpha releases of the game i used, had issues but not something serious... the game is enjoyable if you like that kind of games or to take a break

Had to do a manual root terminal "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-missing", BEFORE installing 0ad with MX-PI, but my grandson says it works!

Odd, the package is supposed to pull in whatever it needs. Do you remember what the --fix-missing command did, or can check in apt-notifier's history?

something went wrong with today updates with mx 16.1. it supposed to replace the old version with the new one and remove some stuff from the older version, but it only removed the older version because as it seems there are unresolvable dependencies with the newer version. here is what it is shown up when i tried to install the newer version after what happened

Yup, looks like a couple dependencies didn't make the move with the main program. They should be there now.
Reload & try again.
