ubuntu focal 404 (1.15 installation using ppa:pkg-games/wesnoth-devel)
Hey,
first I will describe my system and then I will summarize what I did and by that I will describe what failed
as described here: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/WesnothBinariesLinux
after execution it explains what it is and then asks me to press enter (which I did)
Which leads me to the conclusion that there is no ubuntu focal package for wesnoth-dev. Is that intentional or is my conclusion wrong or is it an accident?
(who answered my previous questions before might be confused that I am installing wesnoth: I used 1.14 before; but now I saw some nice stuff in the wiki that only runs under 1.15)

It looks like that ppa hasn't been updated in several years, so that sounds likely. If you want to use 1.15, then your options are:
- Get it via Steam.
- Get it via Flatpak.
- Compile it yourself.

Thanks for the quick reply. Makes sense. I first thought just the message might be old. (thanks for changing it in the wiki; at least I guess that's what happened; or I can't find it anymore )
I will go for the Flatpak then.
