However, the version in testing (Squeeze) works fine on Lenny. Also remember that Squeeze has just been frozen, so it'll probably be released as stable in 9 months or so (based on past freeze/release timeframes).

For some packages this is very straightforward to do on Debian. For other packages it's a lot of work. I have very limited experience with this, but in general I think the fewer dependencies, the easier it is to backport. BackupPC has several dependencies, but fairly few which require a specific version of a dependency package. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
