| caraka | Am I correct in assuming that the LP builders have the same backports config as the general releases, i.e. that they will only install from Backports when manually requested? | 20:47 |
|---|---|---|
| caraka | (via debian/control) | 20:49 |
| cjwatson | caraka: We don't do anything special with backports, except that backports will only be in sources.list at all if either building for backports itself or if it's explicitly configured in "Edit PPA dependencies" on a PPA | 21:01 |
| caraka | Yes, I've explicitely configured it in "Edit PPA dependencies" and I am probably over-worrying that it will introduce other, unwanted backports inadvertantly. If the builder is only going to grab a backported version if it is explicitly requested by the control file, then I have nothing to worry about | 21:04 |
| cjwatson | caraka: I should say that I don't remember precisely how apt's build-dependency resolution works with respect to that, but all supported *-backports have "NotAutomatic: yes" in their Release files and IIRC sbuild basically just calls apt-get build-dep, so should be OK if apt-get build-dep isn't inexplicably silly | 21:07 |
| caraka | Thanks, that was my assumption, since all the releases since Natty are "NotAutomatic:yes" as well, to the best of my knowledge. So I have presumed that the builder will only look in backports if it cannot satisfy the version from the default repos. | 21:09 |
| caraka | (and the fact that it all seemed to work as expected when I tested it) | 21:10 |
