| rocketnine | hello. i recently received a bug report for a small python project i'm hosting on a ppa via source package releases. here's the bug: https://github.com/tslocum/aafm/issues/61 | 06:29 |
|---|---|---|
| rocketnine | he is using debian, and i am aiming to provide both debian and ubuntu compatible packages from this ppa | 06:30 |
| rocketnine | the conflict seems to be that it requires python:any which works on an ubuntu system, but debian gets confused and can't meet it | 06:30 |
| rocketnine | i could be wrong, this is just what i have found so far | 06:30 |
| wgrant | rocketnine: PPAs build packalges for Ubuntu, not for Debian. However, this sort of package will often work for Debian too if you're careful. | 06:54 |
| wgrant | It looks likl thaat user tried to install a package built for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Debian wheezy system. wheezy's more than a year behind 14.04. | 06:55 |
| rocketnine | i see | 06:56 |
| wgrant | A package built for an older Ubuntu release (12.04 would be your best bet) might work on wheezy. | 06:56 |
| rocketnine | i'll give that a shot, thanks | 06:56 |
| wgrant | but in general you can't expect binary packages to work cross-distro, and especially not backwards. | 06:57 |
| rocketnine | it is a source package though | 06:57 |
| rocketnine | or am i mis understanding how it is delivered as a package | 06:57 |
| wgrant | you upload a source package to Launchpad, and it builds a binary package for each architcture of the release you uploaded to. | 06:59 |
| wgrant | apt-get install downloads binary packages. | 06:59 |
| rocketnine | got it | 07:00 |
