This command is still not working for me :-(
According to git-pbuilder man page, I must retitle mybase.cow to
base-mybase.cow. When I retitle the image, git-pbuilder works using this
command:
$ env DIST=xmlstarlet git-pbuilder
but if I run git-buildpackage with the command you recommended, it still
continues using base.cow.
I've taken a look to the source code and it seems that DIST env var is
overwritten when using --git-pbuilder option [0]:
if options.use_pbuilder or options.use_qemubuilder:
...
os.environ['DIST'] = options.pbuilder_dist
[0]
