Re: setting up a backports environment: msg#00268

Subject: Re: setting up a backports environment
hmm, okay. one question regarding pbuilder/ubp-build.py. if your using
ubp-build.py inside the pbuilder chroot..how do you fetch the dapper
source packages? do you just do it by hand, or can you change where teh
sources are fetch from, so its all automatic? 

thanks for the help getting set up guys.
