OpenTTD 13 only on sid (unstable debian)
hi everyone,
I'd love to run OpenTTD 13 on my raspberry pi, which is running Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian Bullseye. It seems that on bullseye only OpenTTD 1.10.3-1 is available. Is that on purpose? I'd really like to upgrade. but don't want to run the Pi on unstable debian branch. Is there a way to run OpenTTD13 on bullseye?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel

Probably, but you would need to compile it yourself since RasPi isn't officially supported.

Thank Kamnet for your swift answer! Much appreciated!
Let me may be re-phrase my question, as it was no so much Pi-related, but rather Debian-related: Is there a OpenTTD-13-armhf-binary, which runs on Debian Bullseye? The only binary I could find (https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/openttd/download) is solely available for sid (Debian unstable), whilst the stable versions are still back on 1.10.3-1 (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/ar ... d/download).
Thanks once more!
Best

Re: OpenTTD 13 only on sid (unstable debian)
if you want "bleeding edge" technology like "current openttd", maybe you should consider switching distributions.
Re: OpenTTD 13 only on sid (unstable debian)
It's not likely that you'll see an updated version of OTTD in Debian Bullseye, as Bullseye is a stable release, so not much will change until the next stable release.
Your options, essentially, are:
Your options, essentially, are:
- Upgrade to Debian Bookworm or Debian Sid
- Download OTTD from openttd.org, and not have it installed through dpkg.
- Compile it from source, also obtained from openttd.org
- Switch to another flavour of Linux.

OpenTTD only supports generic linux binaries on x86 processors, so for any ARM processor, like RasPi, you will still need to compile your own.

Re: OpenTTD 13 only on sid (unstable debian)
You might be able to compile, package, and install the version from Debian unstable (sid) under stable (bullseye) as follows.
Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
Then, use these commands:
If everything went as expected, you should see three packages. You won’t need the dbgsym package; to install the other two do this:
See the Debian building tutorial for more information.
Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code: Select all
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
mkdir -p src/debian/
cd src/debian
apt-get source openttd
sudo apt-get build-dep openttd
debuild -b -uc -us
cd ..
ls *.deb
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i openttd_*.deb openttd-data_*.deb
