I agree with Graeme. I was unpleasantly surprised to see that prevu was abandoned without transition documentation.
A rough version of the info that should go in the documentation, should someone ever create it: Package signing is no longer required in ubuntu-dev-tools 0.142; see bug #992739. If you are using an older version, you can add the following line to your ~/.devscripts file and then backport the latest ubuntu-dev-tools: DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-us -uc" To create a build chroot, run: pbuilder --create (my .pbuilderrc is heavily customized; others may need to pass options to pbuilder to get it to do what they want) I use the following command to backport a package: backportpackage -b -U -w . <package> To make a local repo, run: cd buildresult dpkg-scanpackages . >Packages To add the local repository to your apt sources: echo "deb file:$(pwd) ./ #locally backported packages" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/localbackports.list -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948191 Title: Please remove prevu from precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prevu/+bug/948191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
