Already done quite a few of them... http://apt.sourceguru.net/dists/edgy/jokosher/ > For gstreamer0.10 and gst-plugins-base0.10 it's probably better to stay > with 0.10.11 instead of the CVS snapshots we currently have in feisty... > is it possible to get versions into the backports that are already > superseded and removed in feisty? 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) <Mez> MikeS, I have plans to backport gstreamer 0.10.11 from feisty to edgy <Mez> so that i can backport jokosher 0.2 :P <Mez> but i'm wondering what issues that may cause <MikeS> Mez: that's not a backport, that's just "using 0.10.11 on edgy". I do that all the time, it works fine. <Mez> MikeS, well I'm on about ubuntu backports <Mez> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports <MikeS> Mez: well, yeah, ubuntu inherited some terminology misuse from debian. That's not a good reason to continue misusing the terminology. <Mez> MikeS, so -if I were to (using my definition) "backport" gstreamer 0.10.11 it wouldnt cause any issues at all / <MikeS> 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.
