Re: backportpackage: "the current version" "is earlier than the previous one"
Hi Martinx,
I don't know if it is possible or not to do it one shot with backportpackage.
Anyway to solve I would personally do:
- dget -x package.dsc
extract it (if the automatically extraction fails)
copy the debian inside (always if the automatically extraction fails)
cd directory
dch (or vi debian/changelog)
bump the version (date -R can give you the timestamp if you edit with vim)
dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa
- pbuilder-dist "distro" "arch" build file.dsc (not need for source only uploads for a ppa, but just if you want to test your build)
- dput ppa:user/ppa file_source.changes
cheers,
Gianfranco
