(Sorry for the accidental double post yestderday!) I need to amend the above information: If you're running ubuntu-dev- tools 0.142 or newer, you'll want to pass the (undocumented as of 0.142) --dont-sign option to backportpackage.
I'm not criticizing the removal of prevu; now that I know that backportpackage exists and that it's a better option, I'd much rather use it than prevu. I just became worried when the only easy backporting option I knew of vanished. I don't want others to experience that. What would you think about resurrecting the prevu package, but modify it so that all it does is print an informative message to stderr and exit with a non-zero return code? Perhaps I'll open a new bug report for that and work on it myself, but I'll need someone else to upload the package. -- 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
