Your mail server rejected my message (again). My guess is you didn't get the message from the mailing list because it saw it was already addressed to you. Since you get messages sent by the BTS, I've included -submitter in To: this time. > I disagree that --build is a command; it is an option that expects > an argument (the .dsc file). > > Please revert this! What's your reasoning? This was never officially supported. Ever. Just give the command first, like everyone has always had to do for pbuilder. And yes --build *is* a command; it says so in the manpage[0]. Whether or not *you* think it is is irrelevant. All it takes is for you to change the order of the arguments you give to your c script.
