yeah, ok.  Messing up systems is not good.

I wonder if you can just install the Lucid .deb file... I reckon you
might be able to.  I guess it would be good to set up a PPA, or maybe
even compile debs for people to download.  Alexandre has talked about
becoming the debian maintainer for pygame... so that would be good...
hopefully it will get updated more quickly in the future.

Alexandre: do you feel like uploading a pygame 1.9.1 .deb for karmic
somewhere?  Or perhaps setting up a ppa?  Or are you still interested
in being the debian maintainer?  How is that process going?  It looks
like Sebastien Bacher uploaded the most recent pygame package for
ubuntu on the 14th of Jan.


Marcus uses freebsd.  Lennard uses ubuntu now I think...  Not sure
what other people are using.  The funny thing is I'm using ubuntu -
which has been the slowest distro to update pygame.  For me, I compile
things I work on from source... but often use the system libraries
unless I'm testing or developing them.  But I dunno... everyone has
their own needs/uses and so different distros are good for them.
