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

Hi, I'm neither an Ubuntu developer, nor do I maintains some backports. However, a lot of backports easily could be counter-productive regarding the Long Term Support's policy. Consider to provide your packages by a PPA. https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/publish/other-forms-of-submitting-apps/ppa/ https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA Note, you can't just upload the local packages you already build. It requires a little bit more effort to provide packages by a repository.

backports for trusty
Hi folks, anybody around here who also maintains some backports for trusty ? I've collected several packages which I maintain locally (eg. right now I'm packaging recent cairo w/ drm patches applied) and I'd like to put that into bigger community. --mtx -- mit freundlichen Grüßen -- Enrico, Sohn von Wilfried, a.d.F.
