[07:59] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[07:59] <cousin_luigi> Can I host debian-specific packages on a PPA?
[08:08] <geser> assuming they work in Debian when built on an Ubuntu system then probably yes
[08:09] <babilen> geser: Why and how does launchpad enforce that packages have to be built on an Ubuntu system? (or did I misunderstand?)
[08:10] <babilen> geser: Or is launchpad compiling *all* uploaded packages in an Ubuntu chroot?
[08:10] <geser> the later, PPAs are built in an Ubuntu chroot (there are no Debian chroots availble)
[08:12] <babilen> Is launchpad building it for all architectures (which?) or only for those that haven't been uploaded?
[08:16] <geser> uploads for PPAs are source-only and then build for i386, amd64, armel, armhf (if not limited by the control file of the package)
=== popey_ is now known as popey
[08:33] <cjwatson> armel and armhf only in some cases, usually just i386/amd64
[08:33] <cousin_luigi> geser: I see.
[08:36] <babilen> geser: Thanks, that makes it useless for Debian packages then. Thank you for your comments.
[08:38] <cousin_luigi> babilen: wouldn't that depend on the package?
[08:39] <babilen> cousin_luigi: No, you will almost certainly end up with a unnecessary dependency on a libc6 version > 2.13 (in stable)
[08:40] <babilen> Among other discrepencies like different package names, ... (which really do depend on the package)
[08:41] <cousin_luigi> babilen: I guess I'll see what I can do on OBS then.
