Sure, build it multiple times and after each build, modify the *.changes file to target whatever distribution you built it for. However, this is really not a useful practice for arch: any packages, only for arch: all packages (and then, there's no need to build multiple times). What I do for internal packages is build arch: all packages once and then upload them to each separate environment by changing the *.changes file and resigning it for each upload. For arch: any packages, I do exactly the same thing I would do for Debian plus backports.org, except all at once. I build the package for unstable, sign and upload to unstable, and then use dch to add a new changelog entry with a version number that appends ~, a local string, and a build number to the previous version, build that for stable, and then upload it. The changelog in the latter case is set to target stable, so I don't have to modify the *.changes file. You want the version in stable to have a lower version number than the version in unstable, even in local repositories, since otherwise you'll mess yourself up when doing dist-upgrades later. > I need *only* to modify debian/changelog ?? Unless library dev packages have changed names or the backport is otherwise not trivial. > It's debian policy compliant ?? I don't know what "it" refers to in this sentence. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
