- 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.
