I'm sorry this has inconvenienced some folks with this, but as I've mentioned in the linked email thread on ubuntu-devel, I seem to be the only person to have done an upload of prevu in the past few years. That has only been to make it aware of new release names. It was never updated in oneiric to know about precise and no one seems to have cared enough to file a bug about it. The package is unmaintained. No one is directly subscribed to its bug reports in Ubuntu, and upstream hasn't seen a commit in a long time. As you well know (since you reported the bug a7x), prevu can't handle source version 3 package, which at this point is over 10,000 packages (http://upsilon.cc/~zack/stuff/dpkg-v3/).
If someone wants to step up and take over maintenance of the package, there is no reason that it couldn't be reintroduced to the archive and even backported to 12.04. Though it might be better to extend backportpackage (which is admittedly aimed at developers not end users) to better handle the prevu use case. It is being actively maintained. The version found in oneiric is installable in precise if you really want it. You can grab it from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/prevu/prevu_0.5.2-0ubuntu6_all.deb Thanks for adding this information. I'm sure it will help others. (Though it's also a bit ironic as prevu ships with no documentation what so ever.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948191 Title: Please remove prevu from precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prevu/+bug/948191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
