As some of you have probably noticed, my woody backport repository is
out of data since a while.
The main reasons is that I've changed laptop switching from an i386 to a
powerpc architecture and I need to reconfigure repositories handling
system to handle both architectures. I'm almost finished, though: in a
few days I will be able to support woody again.
In spite of that, handling backported packages is going to be each day
more difficult because packages started depending on new
debhelper/debconf packages.
My proposal is to put as a requirement for using the woody backport
repository the availability of such packages on the woody system. There
are a lot of unofficial apt repositories offering such packages for
woody (notably the Adrian Bunk's).
Do you think it's an eccessive requirement?
The alternative is to manually backport packages to
debhelper/debconf/whatever and I don't know if I can afford doing that
...
Cheers.
