If anyone wants to beta test it (looks like it works well for me) here is my PKGBUILD base in the one for the stable release.

pkgname=freeciv-2.0.0
pkgver=beta6
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="A multiuser clone of the famous Microprose game of Civilization"
depends=('gtk2' 'ncurses' 'sdl_mixer' 'alsa-lib' 'sdl' 'libogg' 'libvorbis' 'readline' 'imlib' 'glib')
source=(ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/beta/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

I did try to make one with the diff file for civworld but it did not work.

I am pleased you like it.

Have you tried the beta version?

That's good stuff, my friend. I've had for some time a PKGBUILD in my local repo's for the 2.0 beta releases. I just never posted it. I recently updated mine as well for the beta6 release.

One thing that really bothered me about the last release, was all of a sudden, I couldn't move right or left anymore. The only movements were up, down, and the diagonals. I wasted many a move without the left/right working. It's functionality would come and go at random. I read the diff changes from the prior beta, and they only mention:

" Improve some keyboard controls in the gtk2 client."

I hope that fixed it. The only remedy for me was to save, close the app., fire it back up, and cross my fingers i had all directional movement again.

I only came into the fray at beta 6.

I tried the stable, and that was ok but beta6 is quite good except that every so often when I load a save game I go AI.

Ok, so a quick edit of the save file fixes that but it is a pain.

Freeciv 2 is final as of yesterday!!! Lotsa great updates and changes. I hope arch is updated with the new version soon. I did flag it out of date

/me runs off to build new version manualy using PKGBUILD above.
