I am using a recipe to keep a program packaged in my ppa. From Oneiric onwards it seems that some of the dependency locations have changed. specifically the libQtCore.so (and a couple other QT libs). All the legacy versions of the application build but Oneiric and Precise have failed to build from the old recipe. I can deal with this locally because I can change the library location in the rules file.
I was wondering how best to deal with this in my ppa. Should I have a separate debian file in its own repo that is specific for the release, get the recipe to pull the debian file and merge when its time to build? Then have separate recipe for each distro?
Or can I deal with this in the recipe directly.
Or is there a better way that I haven't thought of.
Thanks
