Somewhere I read that I could do this: apt-get install source yelp
and then do this: dpkg-buildpackage So I tried it. Important note: I didn't change yelp-xsl or yelp-tools yet, they are the standard trusty versions, as I am just trying to establish that things work properly BEFORE backporting them. Once I install all the missing packages it complains about, it builds. O.K. so moving on, update yelp-xsl and yelp-tools as per these two backport requests. The build fails: dpkg-source: info: you can integrate the local changes with dpkg-source --commit dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/yelp_3.10.2-0ubuntu1.diff.IO4pEb dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b yelp-3.10.2 gave error exit status 2 However, this works: ./autogen.sh make So I don't really know if this is a pass or a fail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to trusty-backports.
