Kind of gotten most of it built nicely already. https://launchpad.net/~andol/+archive The good thing about this setup I've created so far is that you can build gutsy-, hardy-, intrepid- and jaunty versions from pretty much the same source package. That's something which makes the maintainace a lot nicer. Dapper on the other hand has to be built from a different source package. If you have something well put together in that area that surely would be nice. > we also customised backupninja packages with lots of bugs fixed and > features added. not sure if people would be interested in it. Sounds interesting. Not that I use backupninja myself (yet), but I'm sure there are plenty of people who do. Regarding the setup I was kind of thinking in terms of having a dedicated team account on launchpad, providing somethink like a https://launchpad.net/~rdiff-backup-pkgs/+archive Then new packages could first be built in mine, or someone elses, PPA. If they survive a couple of days testing they can then be copied to the "real" PPA. Well, to be honest I didn't do all that thinking myself :) A lot of it's taken from a blog post I read the other day. http://castrojo.wordpress.com/2009/01/24/309/ // Andreas
