Package: pbuilder Version: 0.181 Severity: important Per http://release.debian.org/lenny/goals.txt a release goal is double compilation support, and one step to ensure that is to verify that clean works. When doing an normal dpkg-buildpackage, you can pass the parameter -tc to clean the directory after build, but when building under a pbuild environment, no such posibillity exists (Probably because of the reasoning as it will be deleted anyway, so no clean is required).
But though Policy section 4.9 specifies that clean must be able to restore, many developers miss to check clean after build as they often build in pbuilder environments, and the only way to check that is to do an normal build, which might miss other things instead. Even trhough it will take some CPU cycles more, my advice is to clean in the chroot by default. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pbuilder depends on: ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.131 Debian Configuration Management Sy ii cdebootstrap 0.5.2 Bootstrap a Debian system ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.29 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii debootstrap 1.0.9 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii gcc 4:4.3.1-1 The GNU C compiler ii wget 1.11.3-1 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages pbuilder recommends: ii cowdancer 0.47 Copy-on-write directory tree utili ii devscripts 2.10.30 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii fakeroot 1.9.5 Gives a fake root environment ii sudo 1.6.9p15-2 Provide limited super user privile -- debconf information: pbuilder/nomirror: * pbuilder/mirrorsite: http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ pbuilder/rewrite: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
