Maybe mangle them into <distro> on-the-fly or something?
What is in the changelog doesn't necessarily need to be the same as what is in the *.changes file, which Launchpad will interpret. Therefore, you can put precise-proposed in the debian/changelog, but allow it to be accepted for a PPA by building a source package with: $ debuild -S -sa --changes-option=-DDistribution=precise Naturally, it might make sense to alias this :) HTH -- Kind Regards, Dave Walker -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
