Package: sbuild Version: 0.87.1 Severity: normal I'm building an UNRELEASED package and then sbuild complains with this:
E: Chroot for distribution UNRELEASED, architecture amd64 not found which, fair enough, there's no such tarball in my .cache/sbuild: $ find ~/.cache/sbuild/ /home/anarcat/.cache/sbuild/ /home/anarcat/.cache/sbuild/bookworm-amd64.tar.zst /home/anarcat/.cache/sbuild/unstable-amd64.tar.zst but then sbuild says this: I: Applied base distribution name mangle rule s/(?^:^(experimental|rc-buggy|UNRELEASED)$)/unstable/ turning "UNRELEASED" into "unstable" ... so i thought "cool, that's smart, it's going to use my unstable tarball! yaay!" ... but then it did this: I: Creating chroot on-demand by running: mmdebstrap --variant=buildd --arch=amd64 --skip=output/mknod --format=tar unstable - Hmm. So it did *not* use the unstable tarball. The build works, so it's not *that* bad, considering how fast mmdebstrap is, but it would sure be nice to skip that step entirely. And I know i can make symlinks to work around that, and that i can use `$unshare_mmdebstrap_keep_tarball=1;` to keep the generated tarball, but that all seems besides the point. This is a nice feature, it just needs one last push to be perfect, IMHO. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.11.10-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii adduser 3.137 ii libsbuild-perl 0.87.1 ii perl 5.40.0-8 Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii autopkgtest 5.42 ii debootstrap 1.0.138 ii mmdebstrap 1.5.4-2 ii schroot 1.6.13-5 ii uidmap 1:4.16.0-5 Versions of packages sbuild suggests: ii deborphan 1.7.35 ii e2fsprogs 1.47.1-1+b1 ii kmod 33+20240816-2 ii wget 1.24.5-2+b1 -- no debconf information
