I am also quite interested in getting a backport of this package. I wrote up a question on the "open-vm-tools" package, outlining my own reasons for this request, before realizing how to properly request a backport... which is when I found the request has already been made: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+question/51827
I have only minimal debian package building experience, but is there something that I could do to push the process along? Does anybody know the level of complexity thats involved? Is it simply a matter of figuring out how to take current source package and getting it to build against 8.04 (with debhelper 6) and then submitting a patch? Or is this a really complicated process that would take a large amount of effort for someone who isn't a debian package builder by trade? If anyone has some links to point me in the right direction (backporting packaging how-to or a debhelper upgrade/downgrade steps...) I would be willing to give this a try. -- Please backport open-vm-source (and -tools) from intrepid/debian sources https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backports Testing Team, which is subscribed to Hardy Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
