Yes, but someone has to volunteer to do the work and that work has to be worth doing and appropriate. If the person doing the work is not a Debian Developer, the backport then has to be sponsored into the archive so the same process of justification and usefulness is applied. There are numerous requests for uploads on this list which do not find volunteers who are interested in checking the backport. > In particular, I'd like the libqt4-* packages (and all dependencies) to be > backported from squeeze to lenny-backports or lenny-backports-sloppy.

It's unreasonable to expect someone else to do it for you when what you are requesting is effectively to backport an entire suite of packages. I've done some qt4-x11 rebuilds for Squeeze recently, there is no way I'd consider backporting it to Lenny. It's even less likely for qt4-x11 from unstable. If you've got sufficient reason for the backport, maybe try building qt4-x11 from Squeeze on Lenny and see where it gets you. If you want Qt 4.6 instead of 4.3 then you simply need to use Squeeze. Lenny, as oldstable, will disappear around this time next year anyway as the Wheezy freeze is due to be under way. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
