Hi everyone,
one of the libraries that Unity 2D depends on (libdee) has been updated,
breaking its ABI from the version in Oneiric.

This means that as of commit 807, Unity 2D trunk will no longer build on
your Oneiric installbecause it requires a newer version of libdee than
what is available in Oneiric by default.

To get access to the updated dependencies, and newer builds of Unity 2D,
you will need to subscribe to this daily PPA [1]:
*ppa:unity-team/staging*

Note that this PPAdoes not have ARM builds.


=== What to do ===
If you are developing on Unity 2D trunk (and have no need for ARM
binaries), please enter the following in a terminal:

$ sudo rm -f
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/unity-2d-team-unity-2d-daily-oneiric.list
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/staging
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get remove libdee-1.0-1              #IMPORTANT! Remove old
libdee. Accept the removal of other packages.
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install libqtdee-dev libunity-core-5.0-dev libdee-dev
libnux-2.0-dev libunity-dev
$ sudo apt-get install nautilus                 #[optional] Nautilus in
PPA is held back, this installs it

Your system will now be running the very latest Unity 2D build, and
capable of compiling lp:unity-2d.


If you are developing on Unity 2D trunk and need ARM binaries, we have a
problem. Unfortunately there is no timeline yet for ARM support on Jenkins.

Regards
-Gerry
