Hi, My workplace still needs support for Etch, too, although we are planning a transition to Lenny soon. The patch that will let pbuilder work for Etch chroots is really quite simple; what do people think about it? :)
If the patch gets mangled by the mailing list or the BTS, it may also be found at http://devel.ringlet.net/devel/pbuilder/no-autoremove-on-etch.patch Index: pbuilder-updatebuildenv =================================================================== --- pbuilder-updatebuildenv (revision 3790) +++ pbuilder-updatebuildenv (revision 3791) @@ -45,7 +45,13 @@ $TRAP saveaptcache_umountproc_cleanbuildplace_trap exit sighup $CHROOTEXEC /usr/bin/apt-get -y --force-yes "${force_confn...@]}" dist-upgrade -$CHROOTEXEC /usr/bin/apt-get -y --force-yes autoremove +aptver=`$CHROOTEXEC /usr/bin/dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}' apt` +log "I: Obtained apt version $aptver" +if [ -n "$aptver" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$aptver" ge '0.7.6'; then + $CHROOTEXEC /usr/bin/apt-get -y --force-yes autoremove +else + log "I: Skipping apt-get autoremove" +fi $CHROOTEXEC /usr/bin/apt-get -y --force-yes install build-essential dpkg-dev apt aptitude $EXTRAPACKAGES save_aptcache G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net r...@space.bg r...@freebsd.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 "yields falsehood, when appended to its quotation." yields falsehood, when appended to its quotation.
