Kind of. I think you're referring to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623256 So there is a bit of convergence, although I don't believe Ubuntu's debhelper has yet gained the changes to take advantage of my launchpad-buildd tweak. I imagine that will happen at some point though; converging debhelper where possible is generally worthwhile. Debian uses the .deb extension rather than .ddeb, and switching to that would be a rather more complex endeavour. Personally I think this was a mistake and argued that at the time, but I didn't succeed. At any rate, it would require some probably-possible but rather complex changes to Launchpad's upload processor to make it able to handle using the same extension for both. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
