[09:38] <benjaoming> Hi all, getting into this PPA thing... was wondering if there is an updated practice on the answer to "One package for several distribution" or if best practice is still the same? https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/86040
[09:39] <cjwatson> Still the same
[09:40] <cjwatson> And just to clarify that, it's usually best to upload to the oldest distribution you want to support and then copy forwards, rather than uploading to the newest and copying backwrads
[09:40] <cjwatson> *backwards
[09:40] <cjwatson> Since library compatibility tends to be better that way round
[09:48] <benjaoming> cjwatson: thanks for the clarification, I will start with the oldest distribution then... it's a Python application with no dependencies other than Python >= 2.7... so making Launchpad do as little work as possible would seem meaningful :)
[09:48] <cjwatson> If it's pure Python, that should be pretty simple, indeed.
[10:00] <benjaoming> cjwatson: will the copying happen automatically in the future or do you have to do the procedure on every new build?
[10:12] <cjwatson> benjaoming: You have to do it yourself.
[10:12] <cjwatson> You can script it yourself using the API if you like, though it may not be worth the bother.
[10:13] <cjwatson> But you could at least cause it not to require browser clicking :-)
