Recipe: How to pull in a library from my PPA?

Asked by Jan Rheinländer

I have a branch called lp:eqc (http://code.launchpad.net/~jrheinlaender/eqc/eqc) which builds (among others) a package libeqc.deb

Then I created another branch lp:imath which has a build dependency on libeqc. Now I am wondering how to specify to the recipe where it can find the libeqc.deb package. Obviously, it is in my PPA but I can't see how I can add this to the sources.list of the builder process.

Probably I am doing this all wrong but... I just don't know better :-)

Thanks for any help!

Your Build-Depends want libeqc-dev (>= 1.4.8), but the version in your PPA is 1.4.8-0~42, which is less than 1.4.8

$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.4.8-0~42 ge 1.4.8 && echo true || echo false
false

See http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version for details of version string interpretation.
