Hi Nicholas, Could you take a look at the backportpackage command from the ubuntu-dev-tools package? As a former prevu user, can you see anything that it is missing that prevu provides? If so, maybe we can file some wishlist bugs. One really nice thing about it is that it makes it dead simple to backport into a ppa: backportpackage -u ppa:user/ppa package Thanks! - -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Maintainer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=a.starr.b%40gmail.com> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJPTmXAAAoJEDtW4rvVP9yxyogQAI+MGEeFby/IM+udzlJO8qlH uBQw3cu6lUGL7b0e+TemG4WuL8q69vKVE1YTPh3YGSCKoharorj9UVxEHhZSLvRs sEi5MOMORS9EA51m3Z5KpRNFNPqjOAoD48Gi/ienhtJ+JcbKzpK7ZAMPISglJoH0 WdwEHrVcfT0Th5ax2yYh9d/bhJ52I4ylmUtsBWUcD1qMNcLQfHm+HnBDNyI18C6D JbFwstWqwGxgX248V+g7KLZBGi5jh4GeVG1lghE+Cl1jiHKuzPfjsr5O04S3cihB TMglQJ0Mc45h57afB+v6e6p+FQVnbc1AlYPffaCxrla3yn2UNIUvBDznSeu3K+xs +632gQIeSzZsjn27GHHmEL6cx2WyGciOOC6505Cq73a6Q822wdvr1lXnnplPJUoc g/w47TGXkTHJLH+BmSISUBLo/o5xoDJ69qYLsdaRB5WB/R+Ry7viQU456yvGIL0G y/ExreqZpbQICi9Ktnua9VioCu50dKgvRSFHFX76k50QetcVRIQo8PB6YDD2gXUu 6fGfem/jUY66dmxIDullZsBUWkGS4DDaPPdxKyahZUymGc8PNXF1rYLapXgLhUVl ok+yZf5Q4jEVlSolhWR7Ryl/ROLBXG0BBHrFqDvPIdDHbu0VwRWR31Yk+8VevHgD F7XZ3sXwO+0kdrfHhAJc =9c3a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
