The following pages show how it is gone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html This way one can mix various distributions or releases in a systematic manner.

I'm That particular repository doesn't have 8.04 packages, just 8.10 and 9.04. Something that might work (YMMV, of course) would be to grab the deb-src line for either intrepid or jaunty (it shouldn't matter which), add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and then do an aptitude update to synchronize the repository to your local package collection. Then you could try to do "apt-get -b source ekiga" which, if it fetches the ppa repository will attempt to build a local .deb package for your system. You'll probably want to do an "apt-get build-dep ekiga" so that all the build dependencies are downloaded so you can build those as well. Usually, you'll have to apt-get -b source the dependencies (opal and ptlib for sure, perhaps others) and of course run any build-dep sessions against those dependencies, if they have not already been installed on your system. It's a bit repetitive, but it should work - disclaimer is that I didn't try this method with ekiga, and I no longer have any machines that are running hardy, so I can't (easily) test. I have done this bit with a few other packages, most notably amarok-nightly, because the Neon stuff (daily builds) aren't available in 9.04, so I added the source repository for intrepid and built the package for jaunty, and it actually worked (at least up until 3/18, after that, there are build dependencies on packages that I can't obtain yet). In retrospect, it's probably easier to do things that way than the way I did it before for 3.2.0 sources, which was to do repetitive ./configures, watch the thing blow up, go find the missing dependencies, install them, rinse and repeat :). > Stu Lesnett -- thanks for letting me change the magnetic patterns on your hard disk. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
Re: [Ekiga-list] [Ekiga-devel-list] Ekiga 3.2 is in Ubuntu 9.04
Good to hear more from you, I assume you've really been busy. My question is what about a large number of us running Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit mode? I'm especially interested in the WEB camera drivers. They don't seem to be updated when I upgraded both of my systems from 7.10 and secondly the white pages haven't work at least on my system since Ekiga 2.0.12.

Still, I believe they could put them in what they call "multiverse", those licensing issues do not apply in e.g. Europa, and iLBC is free for non commercial use. The issue for CELT in Ubuntu is most probably because it is not in "main", but in "universe". -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknRFWEACgkQaP9jcuuuScARtACbBboLRQXW8jhX4PwX6g4RGPj/ UZsAnjK2HQE5qv/ddndULkFqteEsuIdi =UfvH -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
