Thanks Celso for making the things clearer: I indeed would like to be allowed to build packages in PPA against dependencies not satisfied in 'release' but only in 'backports', such as libtheora-dev being too old in 'dapper', but satisfactory in 'dapper-backports'. I filled a bug asking for this feature, were I deliberately copied your first proposal of a solution, as it would already be great to have... I guess this discussion is better supported by the bug tracking tool than the mailing list: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/151528 Berteh. ---------------------------------------- > Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:56:09 -0300 > From: celso.providelo@xxxxxxxxx (...) >> 2) a support for other distributions than Release (actually I'm mostly interested in backports, especially dapper-backports, as it is bit too out-dated to my needs) > > Can you explain exactly what it is you are trying to do that you can't > do? He means that PPA packages are built with dependencies coming only from 'release' pocket. We can solve this problem in two different ways: 1. Enable uploads to post-release pockets in PPA. They would use the respective (and maintained) ubuntu chroots and get build-deps according the target pocket. 2. Wait for 'archive_purpose-specific-chroots' implementation, when we will be able to customize the 'release' chroot for PPA to grab build-deps from post-release pockets.
