Because backports requires to get your package in the archive first then to get it backported, it's not easier than getting it in the archive, it's harder, you first need to find you way to the archive, then to get it backported. It also doesn't solve the issue of non maintained cruft which get added to universe... You also might want to track different series or versions in the current unstable Ubuntu distro and the stable one. -- Sebastien Bacher -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
