[20:47] <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?
[20:49] <caraka> (via debian/control)
[21:01] <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
[21:04] <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
[21:07] <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
[21:09] <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.
[21:10] <caraka> (and the fact that it all seemed to work as expected when I tested it)
