| ahasenack | hi, can a package have a build-dep that's only available in the backports pocket in a particular ubuntu release? | 20:24 |
|---|---|---|
| ahasenack | assuming the package itself is not in backports | 20:24 |
| tsimonq2 | ahasenack: iirc, no, but I could be wrong. | 21:28 |
| rbasak | ahasenack: I agree with tsimonq2. | 23:24 |
| tsimonq2 | rbasak: Well, I think *should* it is a different question than *can* it. I think the answer should be no on both counts, but I don't remember if backports was enabled even when apt pinned at a lower value on the builders. | 23:30 |
| rbasak | tsimonq2: you can build it. For example you can enable backports in a PPA. But it isn't acceptable for the archive. | 23:31 |
| tsimonq2 | rbasak: Hm, alright. Out of curiosity, was this ever formalized anywhere or is it just an unspoken rule? | 23:32 |
| rbasak | I think Launchpad won't permit such a package to end up in the archive unless you're an archive admin. | 23:33 |
| tsimonq2 | Hm, ok. | 23:33 |
| tsimonq2 | Would you happen to know if I could test something like this on staging.launchpad.net? | 23:34 |
| rbasak | I don't know. | 23:34 |
| tsimonq2 | Alright, thanks rbasak. | 23:34 |
| rbasak | But I'm curious to know the answer :) | 23:34 |
| tsimonq2 | Same :) | 23:35 |
