Already done quite a few of them...

Colin - is this at all possible? also, some of them will need to be
installed to build against for the other versions - does backports build
against backports at the moment?
Daniel has raised some objections to the backport... I'm quite happy for
this to either go the way of a private repository, or through
-backports, whichever way people think suitable. People have been using
Jokosher fine with the run script that Stuart made, with no adverse
effects, and a quote follows from #gstreamer (FUD snipped - full log
available on request)
MikeS, I have plans to backport gstreamer 0.10.11 from feisty to
edgy
so that i can backport jokosher 0.2 :P
but i'm wondering what issues that may cause
Mez: that's not a backport, that's just "using 0.10.11 on edgy".
I do that all the time, it works fine.
MikeS, well I'm on about ubuntu backports
If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then
they go into Ubuntu Backports. See
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
Mez: well, yeah, ubuntu inherited some terminology misuse from
debian. That's not a good reason to continue misusing the terminology.
MikeS, so -if I were to (using my definition) "backport" gstreamer
0.10.11 it wouldnt cause any issues at all /
Mez: running gstreamer 0.10.11 on edgy is normal. Many of the
gstreamer developers do precisely that. If _anything_ breaks, we fucked
up, please tell us. I don't expect it to, though.
What are people's thoughts
