I've been on a quest to install Bzflag version 2.0, so far I've only found it here: warty-backport (http://mirror.brianpuccio.net/ubuntu-backports-repository/dists/warty-backports/universe/binary-i386/)

I have Hoary and bzflag 2.0 is not listed in the equivalent Hoary-universe section. Also, I've been researching here on the forums and I've found a couple of postings stating that Bzflag 2.0 has been released to the stable tree.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11847

However, as far as I can determine the only thing thats in universe is Bzflag version 1.10, not version 2.0. So my quesion is, how in the world do I install Bzflag version 2.0?

Addendum: I'm fairly new but I also tried to Install the debian bzflag 2.0 package. It needs libcurl3 version greater than all versions that are available for Ubuntu. I tried to install that but it was over my head, ran into dependency hell. Looking for another solution, I had a bzflag developer help me compile from scratch -- no luck needed a newer libcurl3-dev package (more dependency hell). She recommended I switch to Debian -- but i REALLY like ubuntu.

TIA -- ep

Your reply, "It's in the backports", wasn' helpfull. Which backport? Where? As I explained, I've already seached. For instance, I added the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

## Backports
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted

Then sudo apt-get update. Then apt-cache search bzflag. apt-cache show bzblag
Uninstall 1.10 then apt-get install bzfag.

Not there.
