If unmodified darcs builds for hardy will work on dapper, end users can simply do this: 1. setting APT::Default-Release to dapper in apt.conf (or by pinning); 2. adding a newer release (e.g. hardy) to sources.list; and 3. apt-get install darcs/hardy This is how I handle cherry-picking from Sid on my Lenny laptop, and IMO it's far simpler than requiring someone to maintain a separate APT repo for each package you want to back-install. (It's needed for "real" backPORTing because backports are actually recompiled against old libs.) _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
