It was a long time that I could not stands behind as I like and then come to the conclusion that it is better to close.
I do not know how many have been useful to my package (I think and hope a few) but I can say that I was useful.
I would like to publicly thank the “small” moral supporters, the big boss Dret of WIF, Gerfried Fuchs (who had it not been for him I would still carrying forward the packets with the scary bugs) and finally tuxfamily, which allowed me to use a space for the repository.
I’ll end with a quote:
… I know half of you half only;
and I am, less than half of you half of the affection that you deserve.
…
Greetings from the depths of the “Core”.

PS: i pacchetti saranno ancora disponibili per l’ultima versione caricata, ma non creerò i pacchetti per quella successiva, quindi una volta aggiornato alla 1.8.2 potrete anche rimuovere i repository.
PPS: For those interested to continue with the project contact me via email.

But supporters of the new lobby, know that you do not have to worry about … You simply select from the menu.

Thank Nobum, even on windows you can play wesnoth 1.8 with the old lobby.
Has created an executable to apply the patch on the game already installed, but here is what it says:
With the release 1.8 of wesnoth, a new MP lobby is included. This new lobby has several problems and it is a little hard to use.
For this reason Silene (one of the official developers) made a patch to re-enable 1.6 lobby on wesnoth 1.8, but the patch was released as a patch file to apply to sourcecode.
But it is a little hard to compile wesnoth under windows (I had to work on it about 6 days). So we decided to release publicly a ready-to-use exe file you can simply download.
To use this exe you must have wesnoth 1.8 installed in your pc. To apply it simply extract the zip file and follow the instructions you will find (there are 2 text files with instructions: one is in Italian, one is in English).
This file can be downloaded from WIF, even by non-members! Here.

Since many users do not work because of dependencies wesnoth I use on my packages, which I present here a mini how-to to compile wesnoth alone.
First, download the source code of wesnoth here .
Extract the archive and open a terminal in the folder you just extracted.
To install the dependencies with this command:
sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev libsdl-dev libsdl-net1.2-mixer1.2-dev libfribidi libsdl1.2-dev-libsdl-dev ttf2.0-support python-dev libdbus-1-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-serialization-dev libpango1.0-dev automake liblua5.1-dev
We begin the actual writing in compiling the following terminal commands:
then
and finally
Now you can wait (too much ) to finish to compile wesnoth.
After completion you will have a choice:
1) install it directly;
2) need a custom package that you can easily uninstall without losing packets in the filesystem.
Now if you want to use the first method you just type in the same terminal “sudo make install”, but since it is a method I do not like you write better in the other.
In the same terminal:
sudo apt-get install checkinstall
and then
So after the procedure, you’ll have your nice package ready for installation.
With these procedures will be like if you install all the wesnoth packages, but with the absence of the menu, in fact you having to set up links on the menu by hand.

Warning: is highly recommended to use this repository through aptitude, since the use of testing “stuff.”

I am proud to announce the new stable version of our favorite game!
The 2.0 is as innovative and quite incredible …
I myself can barely believe it, but we see what are the general characteristics:
Environment in3D
-Speech synthesizer to read sentences
-AI significantly more competitive!
-New Scenarios
In a nutshell … More reality, new enemies and old ones will be more aggressive!
