=== mkljczk is now known as m4sk1n_ [20:24] hi, can a package have a build-dep that's only available in the backports pocket in a particular ubuntu release? [20:24] assuming the package itself is not in backports [21:28] ahasenack: iirc, no, but I could be wrong. [23:24] ahasenack: I agree with tsimonq2. [23:30] 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. [23:31] tsimonq2: you can build it. For example you can enable backports in a PPA. But it isn't acceptable for the archive. [23:32] rbasak: Hm, alright. Out of curiosity, was this ever formalized anywhere or is it just an unspoken rule? [23:33] I think Launchpad won't permit such a package to end up in the archive unless you're an archive admin. [23:33] Hm, ok. [23:34] Would you happen to know if I could test something like this on staging.launchpad.net? [23:34] I don't know. [23:34] Alright, thanks rbasak. [23:34] But I'm curious to know the answer :) [23:35] Same :)
