Package: cowbuilder Version: 0.60 Severity: normal Hello,
cowbuilder parses pbuilder-only pbuilderrc options in parameter.c:load_config_file() and later repasses them as command line options to the internal pbuilder calls. For example, DEBBUILDOPTS gets passed as --debbuildopts command line option to pbuilder call. There are numerous issues with this behaviour: 1) pbuilder shell-expands DEBBUILDOPTS="" when passing it to dpkg-buildpackage. On the contrary, --debbuildopts is interpreted as a single dpkg-buildpackage option. Therefore, DEBBUILDOPTS="-j3 -b" works file, but --debbuildopts "-j3 -b" fails with "unknown option or argument '-j3 -b'". Therefore, my DEBBUILDOPTS that contains multiple options do not work anymore. 2) --binary-arch combined with --debbuildopts does not work in pbuilder, because --debbuildopts overrides it. --binary-arch + DEBBUILDOPTS work fine. Again, cowbuilder repasses DEBBUILDOPTS as --debbuildopts and breaks --binary-arch. 3) This repassing is pretty useless. cowbuilder passes --configfile to pbuilder anyway, so the latter will figure out what to do with its config options by itself. In the end, "smart" cowbuilder repassing is reduntant. What's more, even cowbuilder(8) says that apart from a couple of configuration options, others should be ignored. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cowbuilder depends on: ii cowdancer 0.60 Copy-on-write directory tree utili ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii pbuilder 0.194 personal package builder for Debia cowbuilder recommends no packages. cowbuilder suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
