Re: working for wheezy-security until wheezy-lts starts

[Brian May <bam@debian.org>]

I thought I had sent the following information to
debian-lts@lists.debian.org and team@security.debian.org; but looking at
my archives I hadn't :-(


I have a version of libav available for testing:
https://people.debian.org/~bam/wheezy/libav/


I intended to rebuild all packages that depend on libav, however during
the process suddenly noticed that the --extra-packages argument to
sbuild (used by ratt) doesn't appear to be working for me, so I actually
was testing against the libav already in wheezy :-(

I submitted bug report #820882 on this.
