a) Yes, I am not paid and the stuff you request sounds like not enough fun to compensate the invested efforts
b) You talk about "very often" and about "backups reasons" in the same context. Heh? Your task is not related to backup at all, maybe somehow to the "restore". But in common sense, a "restore from backup" is not something done regularly! So, what do you REALLY want? Just merge archive contents? Then use "rsync -a --checksum --update" or something. c) Maybe you should start reading Debian/Ubuntu documentation first in order to learn how to get package source. Begin with the copyright file. If you want to implement it, just go ahead but expect the patch to be examined very carefully before being accepted. -- option on import to not replace current packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
