Alexander, Why not? Current e.g. xfce4-mixer source version IS the same in both jessie and stretch (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xfce4-mixer). The real problem here is that several XFCE components in jessie (whose source version has not changed in stretch yet) conflict with xfce4-panel 4.12, so they were binNMU'ed in stretch. In order to get e.g. xfce4-panel properly backported in jessie, I need to rebuild them against backported libs (with my proposed suffix "+b1~bpo8+1").
Anyway, I'm trying another approach: a minimal backport with only xfwm4 and its dependencies. I'll try to install them in jessie and see if it fits my needs. 2015-08-21 15:57 GMT-03:00 Alexander Wirt <[email protected]>: > On Fri, 21 Aug 2015, Laércio de Sousa wrote: > > > Vincent and all, > > > > About suffix "~bpo8+1+b1" you've mentioned, it would still not work in my > > case, because resulting package version would be lower than one in > Jessie! > > Let me take a practical example: > > > > Package xfce4-mixer: > > * Current source version: 1.10.3-1 in both Jessie and Stretch > > * Current binary version in jessie: 1.10.3-1 (with xfce4-panel 4.10 > > dependency) > > * Current binary version in stretch: 1.10.3-1+b1 (with xfce4-panel 4.12 > > dependency) > > * Hypothetical binary version in jessie-backports: > 1.10.3-1[X]~bpo8+1[Y] > > (with backported xfce4-panel 4.12 dependency) > Ehm.
