Thanks -one thing though, everyone needs mygui from unstable. It won't be in testing for a little while until gcc4.8 is default compiler on SPARC and PowerPC. If you try to follow the wiki it will fail. EDIT: never mind I'll do some magic and try to force it through it may take a few days EDIT2: I thought about it more, since experimental packages are built against unstable, there is no guarantee it will work with testing packagesK0kt409P wrote:for Testing and Unstable, as nothing from the Unstable contrib or non-free repos is needed, nor anything from the Experimental main or non-free repos, and because libogre-1.9 is available by default in Testing and Unstable.Code: Select all

Interesting, I did not know that. I'll update the wiki to include it.Also apt pinning openmw in experimental to >500 allows it to auto update. Without pinning experimental packages need explicit apt-get install every release. It's a quirk of experemtal.
