It was originally a Debian tool and I don't know whether it has been integrated into any other distributions. A quick Google suggests not, so you should probably not change it upstream. You could generate it at build-time if the building system is Debian-based, but that's probably over-engineering it. The patch isn't exactly a big delta. -- Jonathan Wiltshire 1024D: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 -- BackInTime karmic package missing depends on menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466088 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
