Please try to install from the extras-devel instead , using apt-get from the commandline, or use an application manager (HAM/fapman)

Package defense_gear is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package defense_gear has no installation candidate

Could you try:

apt-get install defense-gear

(with minus sign, not the underscore)

Btw, is the "defence-gear" the name of the package that will be supported and updated in the future? I still haven't installed version from the repos because I wasn't sure which one is the "final" one

No, it's not, if we are going to try divert if from non-free (conflict/replace option) like we talked about in the mail.
But I still didn't find time/urgency to look at it further. In this case, I was wondering if "defence-gear" would not have issues installing for rpjitendra.

Hi TheBurek
I think I found something that can help in the audio problem that I had:
talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81792
I don't know how to check and I'm not sure if using the newer package won't break anything on my N900.
Just thought this might help in fixing bugs. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Uploaded defense-gear_1.1.0-6 to fremantle-extras-devel-non-free.

Updated dependency on libsdl-mixer1.2 to >= 2.6-5+0m5+ogg+mp3-2, so the version with ogg support should be installed (see previous post from Vetsin).

There are still two versions:
Defense_Gear, version 1.1.0-1
defense-gear, version 1.1.0-6

The first one has a wrong naming convention. If you install defense-gear (1.1.0-6) -please do-, Defense_Gear (1.1.0-1) will be removed/replaced.

defense-gear will be name used for possible updates (if TheBurek creates them, that is).

To be clear: both versions are the same (gamewise), defense-gear, version 1.1.0-6 has the proper package name, and more accurate dependencies.

It's really nice game, but why, ah why, no Open Source? If Relic Entertainment could have released =http://www.homeworldsdl.orgsource code of something like Homeworld (allowing us to get it on N900, thanks to awesome work by gdizzz), certainly you could do it, too, TheBurek. Since now, we would have game extended to beyon your wildest imaginations, including enemies that can attack towers, damage and repair system, experience points for friends and foes, etc.

But, if not source, where are that map creation tools, you've promised to release a while ago? It would be great to make new ones.

As said, it's great game, but too short and too easy (I seemed to intuitively do self-inmplied gameplay style to make it harder, like non getting into towers, or not moving their angle after initial setup, not buying/upgrading during waves...). It would be sad, if this wuld get "abandoned" due to lack of source to enchance, or at least editor to make fully custom levels.

/Estel

Answer is simple: maemo -> no return on any investment, hobby project at best. Android -> be it ad supported version, or paid app = some return. While map editing is not possible, it should be community that came up with GUI editor for the waves (as easy as vi/joe/mc->f4/ed/leafpad....... script) to make it harder. We should be grateful for a maemo release, not a whiny bunch: but you promised!!! We can't use our own tools where we can.

EDIT: sorry Estel if it sounded harsh or aggressive, but really, making the game harder is just a matter of editing a few files, so no need to restrict yourself, or nagging the dev, just go into /opt/DefGear-maemo/rbase/common/levels and go wild
