Launchpad itself

Backporting build dependencies

Asked by Alessio Gaeta

I (almost) backported (and modified) f-spot 0.6.1.2 to Jaunty, but in build-depends I need debhelper and quilt from Karmic. There is a way to copy them from Karmic official in my PPA Jaunty series (they work fine without modifies)?
Thank you.

Yes, 2 ways:

UGLY:

https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+copy-packages?field.name_filter=debhelper&field.status_filter=any&field.series_filter=karmic

* Note that this page is not linked in LP, you have to hit this form with the appropriate values otherwise it will timeout.

SMART:

Use the new and shiny Launchpad API:

{{{
...
primary = lp.distribution['ubuntu'].main_archive
ppa = lp.me.getPPAByName(name="ppa")
ppa.syncSource(
    source_name='debhelper',
    version='7.3.15ubuntu2',
    from_archive=primary,
    include_binaries=True,
    to_pocket='Release'
)
}}}

Thank you, that worked and you solved my problem. I used the ugly way, but I will investigate the smart one.
