[Bug 1446617] Re: Version numbers in ppa packages don't support ubuntu upgrades

 

I don't think this is something we can fix. Even if we put in the ubuntu
release name, there will still be instances where it wouldn't upgrade
properly.  For instance

2:0.27.4+fixes.20150418.7860e91-0ubuntu0mythbuntu4 is currently the
latest PPA build and is available for trusty. Even if we put in the
ubuntu release number, a user upgrading to utopic would only get
2:0.27.1, which isn't newer than the PPA.

The correct, recommended method would be to reactivate the PPA after
upgrading.

If someone could out a way to do it, I would consider puting it in.

Title:
  Version numbers in ppa packages don't support ubuntu upgrades

Status in mythtv package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The version numbers you use for your PPA packages don't include the
  ubuntu release version they're built for, so if I'm running a current
  ppa version and then upgrade ubuntu (12.04 -> 14.04 in my case),
  mythtv isn't upgraded to the version built for the new ubuntu version
  correctly.

  You need to include the ubuntu version before the datestamp/git part.
