Dear Wiki user,
You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Debian Wiki" for change notification.
The "BOINC/Development/Backports" page has been changed by SteffenMoeller:
http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC/Development/Backports
Comment:
put instructions on backports to separate page
New page:
Some good soul please care for this page.
To describe:
* backports in Ubuntu
== Backporting ==
''These instructions were tested successfully in 3/2012''
There is yet not BOINC package in Debian backports. Here is to create one for it
Retrieve old source code {{{
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-boinc/scripts.git
cd scripts
./export-boinc -r 6.12.43
mv ./boinc_6.12.43+dfsg.orig.tar.gz ..
cd ..
}}}
Untar it and get current Debian build instructions in {{{
tar xzvf ./boinc_6.12.43+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-boinc/boinc.git
cd boinc-6.12.43+dfsg
cp -r ../boinc/debian .
}}}
* edit debian/changelog
* libnotify remains with 0.5
* ##libnotify-0.7.patch in debian/patches/series
* adjust build-dependency in debian/control
* adjust debian/patches/series
* {{{
export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
}}}
* while quilt push -a; do echo kick out what fails; done
* Remove/uncomment boinc-server-maker from debian/control
So, it seems like those backports are closer to upstream than anyone may expect.
