Hi Mike, It is important to realize that each version of a package can only build ONE set of binary packages. This is to ensure that you don't create a situation where multiple different binary packages exist with an identical name-and-version, which would be horrendously confusing both to humans and to APT. This is why you will often see version numbers like these in PPAs: 1.0-1~jaunty1 1.0-1~intrepid1 1.0-1~hardy1 So, the options are essentially: EITHER: Perform a separate source upload with a unique version for each series. OR: Copy the source *and the binary* packages to multiple series. If you do this, you must give careful consideration to whether the binary packages built on whichever series will work on another series. Max.
