backports tool
Hello there ...
i had an idea that probably someone already had ...
i am using etch and i use anjuta for c/c++ development.
i would try anjuta 2.2 because it seems to be a huge improvement over
1.2.4. To do that i have to put the sid sources to sources.list,
re-compile some stuff and then install them.
the search for the dependencies and download one by one is a complicated
and time wasting task.
how about the development of tool on we could:
- add the sid repos to sources.list
- with a simple command download every needed source package
(dependencies)
- build the packages
- install all the packages.
examples:
apt-backport install anjuta -t sid
this would download all needed dependencies from sid, recompile the
needed and install all.
apt-backport build anjuta -t sid
builds the needed dependencies and anjuta
is this doable?
