["Jeroen T. Vermeulen" <jtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeroen T. Vermeulen has proposed merging lp:~jtv/meta-lp-deps/lucid-apt-ftparchive-backpatch into lp:meta-lp-deps.

Requested reviews:
  Launchpad code reviewers from Canonical (canonical-launchpad-reviewers)

For more details, see:

The publish-archive script runs ftp-archive, which takes ages.

We've got a way to fix that, but it requires apt-ftparchive's --arch option which isn't available until maverick.

So mvo back-ported that option for us (it's only a tiny change) and we have the new version in the launchpad PPA: version 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.3+ppa1.

When looking at the PPA page, be sure to filter for Lucid, not the latest:
  https://launchpad.net/~launchpad/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid

Here, I'm adding a dependency for versions greater than (but not including) 0.7.25.3ubuntu9.3.  This allows a bit more flexibility in naming the custom version.

The current maverick version is based on 0.8.3, so that dependency should be moot on post-lucid systems.
