(1) prevu uses pbuilder which initializes a clean build environment. This is necessary to simulate buildd conditions. You'd be surprised at how much of testing before prevu was junk because someone has 3rd party packages installed which resulted in very different binaries.
(2) prevu mangles the version number such that backports are lower in version than the original package. As far as testing, as stated on the UbuntuBackports wiki pages, only pbuilder/prevu/sbuild built packages are acceptable for testing. -- Please backport tcl/tk 8.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189708 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backports Testing Team, which is subscribed to Gutsy Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
