Hi, Since that feature could help me as well, I'm jumping in and describing my use case. I often run rebuilds with two different "configurations", to be able to compare the results. For example: - stock Debian unstable - Debian unstable with newer GCC The "newer GCC" part is implemented by adding a line in /etc/apt/sources.list and running apt-get update && upgrade, so apt will: - install the newer GCC - if needed, install the newer deps not part of build-essential (think of GCJ). I implemented that by using two chroots: unstable and unstable-gcc. But it's painful to maintain both chroots, and it would be much more easier to customize my stock Debian unstable chroot before building, using a hook script. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
