Is it possible for a Launchpad PPA to support multiple Ubuntu versions such as 10.04 and 12.04 when the package itself was built on a 12.04 machine? When trying to add the PPA to a older machine, it gives an error saying it was made on a 12.04 system and that it could not install.



I'd like sudo get-apt-install my-app to work with both 10.04 and 12.04, and I am new to packaging and PPA's so I do not know if anything like this exists.

Yes, it is possible, as long as:




  • The package builds in all targeted series

  • The series is a supported Ubuntu version in Launchpad



Check out the help on PPAs for more info:




When building a source package you can specify one of the supported series in your changelog file which are listed at the Launchpad PPA page.
