I made a quick debian installer for the Linux binaries. You can get it here:

Nice.  I meant to learn how to put together .deb packages but I never got around to it.

Oh, and the latest (official) release is build 21, not 19.

The latest Linux client is b19 though.

It's not hard at all to make Linux packages like .rpms and .debs, especially with QuDos's updates to the code. The main thing is that you make sure you have a list of all the correct dependencies and of how the file structure will go with root and user accounts.

Paintball 2.0 Alpha build 21 Linux x86 Server Update

The latest is build is 21.  It is a "server update" but the client and server both use the same binary.  Even though it is not packaged as a whole, it is still the latest build.

Meh, as long as the game is only partially Open Source I don't think many Linux gamers will keep up at it.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure which libraries need to be installed, so I copied the dependencies from AssaultCube's debian package.

:P
You could have copied the ones from a Quake 2 debian package, which would have made more sense, but I guess that works xD
