Re: Backporting dh_python2 stuff
I went for pysupport; I had other issues completing the backport, but the natty .deb seemed identical before and after the switch, and the build-deps seemed to be compatible with lucid. -- Loïc Minier -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports

I'd like to keep the source identical between natty and lucid backport, which dh_python stuff can I assume will keep working? I could use dh_pysupport for instance, but will that go away? -- Loïc Minier -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
Re: Backporting dh_python2 stuff
Hi Loïc, Indeed your intuition on not backporting python-defaults/python agrees with mine. In cases like this, my recommendation is to make minimal source changes necessary to linaro-image-tools to make it build against lucid. Such source changes stand a much higher chance of being accepted, and much lower risk of causing unwanted side effects to other packages.
