Hardy packages

Posted by Will Kahn-Greene

I updated my AMD64 machine to Hardy today and built a set of Miro 1.2.3 packages for Hardy AMD64. Going forward, I’ll continue to build packages for Gutsy and Hardy for both i386 and AMD64 platforms.

Miro 1.2.3 is the last release I’ll be doing packages for Dapper and Feisty.

If someone could help out by maintaining and testing packages for those two platforms and any others that we don’t cover, that’d be really great. Let me know in the comments, by email, or on IRC.

    Hi I do packages for Hardy on https://launchpad.net/~teammiro/+archive/.

    How did you create 1.2.3? just recompiling? Or did you change something?

    As far as I can tell, you can’t use pbuilder on an i386 machine to build an amd64 binary. I also can’t run amd64 virtual machines on an i386 host with Virtual Box. And the pbuilder environment stuff for Hardy is only available in Hardy. So in order to build amd64 hardy packages, I had to upgrade my amd64 machine from Gutsy to Hardy.

    Other than that, the packaging files are the same–I didn’t need to make any changes to them.

    I think that answers your questions.
