Bug#683376: unblock: openttd/1.2.2-1 or openttd/1.2.1-2

[Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>]

Hi Matthijs,

>From your diffs it seems to me the multiplay protocol version would be
1.2.2-RC1?

Does that mean clients running it would be still unable to connect to
the version 1.2.2 servers or vice-versa?  These already seem to be the
relative majority (79 of them) according to the live server list at
http://www.openttd.org/en/servers

Further down the list, two 1.2.2-RC1 servers are mentioned currently.

If that's true then I'd think upgrading to 1.2.2-RC1 doesn't help much
from an inter-playability(?) point of view.  (Unless Ubuntu shipped the
same 1.2.2-RC1 as well, but still only the 'new/upgraded' servers could
be played on.)

On the other hand there are still 75 servers running 1.2.1 (but if they
intend to keep running, they may be in need of a backported fix for the
DoS issue).


Or, maybe the 1.2.2 release was identical to -RC1 except for its version
number?  In which case perhaps you could attach a new debdiff?  You can
reduce its size considerably by excluding:

os/os2/
os/windows/
projects/ (.vcproj/.vcxproj files for MS Visual Studio)
src/lang/ (translations)

Also I really recommend trying to attach it again this time, as the
release team seems unhappy about referring to externally-hosted files.
And, if they are too large to attach and get through the mailing lists,
they are probably too large to be reviewed :)
