Hi, I think it is ok now. the ppa buids correctly, and I had just to backport pytest to trusty https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/borgbackup/+packages
I want to re-activate the testsuite of borgbackup, but without the >problems that occured the last time, so I CC'd both of you, I hope >that's all right. > >I have prepared a patch, and verified it against a jessie-backports >cowbuilder, but I'm not merging it into master without checking in >with you this time : ) > >You will find the branch at the collab-maint repository as >"master-testsuite-enabled".

(I'm just wondering: is fakeroot installed by default everywhere?) at lest with a pbuilder-dist sid login I don't have it, maybe having in build-dependencies is better? we can add it later if needed, ppa and debomatic seems to have it :) cheers, G.
