Why so ? > Consider to provide your packages by a PPA. I'm already trying this, but somethings not right yet. What I've done so far: * created a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~metux/+archive/ubuntu/cairo-drm * created a project w/ git repo and my uploaded (debianized) tree https://launchpad.net/cairo-drm https://code.launchpad.net/~metux/cairo-drm/+git/cairo-drm --> git upload seems to be fine (git ls-remote showed it up), but the branch doesn't appear on the lp web frontend * created a build receipe: https://code.launchpad.net/~metux/+recipe/trusty * build ran but failed: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/315946016/buildlog.txt.gz >> subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['git', '-C', '/home/buildd/build-RECIPEBRANCHBUILD-1353331/chroot-autobuild/home/buildd/work/tree/recipe', 'fetch', 'lp:cairo-drm', 'HEAD:refs/remotes/source/HEAD', 'refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/source/*']' returned non-zero exit status 128 That looks a bit strange to me - it should just clone and checkout refs/branches/trusty/master, and not care about the symbolic ref 'HEAD'. --mtx -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
