Comment 2 for bug 299997

Loic,

The UI for modifying primary archive dependencies has landed in edge per bug #276024. It's a step towards solving the problem you reported.

You have to select the 'Backports' option and if your source was never backported in the primary before if will fallback to the 'universe' ogre-components. If it was already backported it will follow the ogre-components for the component where it's published in the primary archive.

The archive dependency infrastructure supports components overrides as well, but it's not yet exposed in the UI.

Theoretically you could set it to Backports + multiverse ogre-model and that would fetch build-deps from all components, but I really doubt it is a valid used case.

Anyway, I'd appreciate if you could report your experiences configuring PPAs for your use-cases.

Thanks
