Vassal 3.7.20 Released

Understood. An unofficial repository would be great to enable automatic updates for both Debian and Ubuntu based distros. I use the tarball download currently, but not always the very latest version. I place the directory into /opt and just manually integrate it into the menu in Linux Mint myself so it’s easy to launch with the keyboard.

To you, running Mint, it will be easier to use the .deb package. Just

1. download the package from the GitHub release page
2. find the download - typically in ~/Downloads
3. Either
   • Double-click the .deb file to install it, or
   • Run

     $ sudo apt install ./vassal_3.7.20-1_all.deb
     

   (adjust for downloaded version)

This will do everything for you - including full system integration, not just a menu entry

As an aside, I was also pleased to see not long ago that the “Other” version of Vassal works on my one computer running GhostBSD, a variant of FreeBSD for desktop computer users.

If GhostBSD - or any other OS - can run a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), then it can run Vassal. One can get Android to run a JVM and Vassal on top of that. Same with SteamOS, but iOS does not run a JVM, so no luck on an iPad or iPhone - sigh.

Yours.
