Hello
I am trying to backport package from debian sid to squeeze.
I backport some needed packages(some dependencies to qemu-kvm, libvirt, etc)
Have you tried Hilko's backported packages?
I think this packages will work fine, but seems there is no dsc files, so I could not rebuild it on my own system.
Hilko, I'm not totally familiar with how Debian repos are organized.
The .dsc file, among other things, mentions what files (usually orig.tar.gz and .diff.gz or .debian.gz) are needed for putting together the source directory from which the Debian package is built.
For the 1.14.x packages, no changes to the source package were needed. Once all the build-dependencies were satisfied from backports.debian.org and some local packages (qemu, etc.), the package could be built.
Things were different for 1.16.x because some dependency needed for GObject bindings was missing from libglib as shipped with squeeze.
Thanks for the explanation. Removing GObject bindings wouldn't be a great loss for squeeze, since, even upstream, nothing is using them (yet).
Any idea on the above?
I have recently added updated packages (1.16.x, including sources) to the repository at <http://people.debian.org/~bengen/libguestfs/>.
But since you've done this, it sounds like GObject bindings will be fine :-) Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
