Prevu does not work with Lucid

[Simon Gerhards]

Binary package hint: prevu

When i try to build a package under Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I get the following error:
Prevu Error: 'Invalid distribution: lucid'

I've attached a full error log.

SRU TEST CASE:

Install prevu from lucid. Run:

  prevu name_of_source_package

It will fail with:

  Prevu Error: 'Invalid distribution: lucid'

Install prevu (soon to be) from lucid-proposed. Running "prevu name_of_source_package" will successfully build a backport from maverick for lucid.

It's simple: Lucid isn't in prevu's list of known backporting targets.
I'm attaching a debdiff for Lucid, please test.

[Valentin Rocher (bishiboosh)]

I edited /usr/bin/prevu manually by adding the line you specified, now it works, thank you !

Just got hit by this. Pretty surprised the release got shipped without anyone ever testing one of the most used first-party tools with it.

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

I confirm that the patch resolves the issue!

This bug was fixed in the package prevu - 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu4

---------------
prevu (1:0.5.2-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low

  * Add Lucid as an accepted backporting target (LP: #567871)

Sponsored into Maverick. Opening a Lucid task as this is probably a SRU candidate as well.

[Paul van Genderen (paulvg)]

I'd need to prevu prevu at this point.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted prevu into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Paul van Genderen (paulvg)]

It works perfectly now, it has successfully backported btrfs-tools/maverick, lxc/maverick and virtinst/maverick for me.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package prevu - 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu3.1

---------------
prevu (1:0.5.2-0ubuntu3.1) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Add Lucid as an accepted backporting target.
    Thanks to Alain Kalker (LP: #567871).
