Package: pbuilder Version: 0.196 Severity: normal Hi!
The recent change in the $HOME value set by pdebuild-internal (see commit 88e0052c7362c2c2a7841579f007ccabeae27c49 ) broke most of my hook scripts, since they unfortunately rely on the fact that $HOME ends with "/../" Would it be possible to add a new environment variable to identify the debianized source directory? I think that adding the following simple line in pdebuild-internal just before export HOME=$(readlink -f $(pwd)/../) would suffice: export DEBSOURCEDIR=$(readlink -f $(pwd)) maybe with a comment that explains that this is useful for hook scripts. I think this would be harmless and very useful for many hook scripts written by users in the future. Please add this line as soon as possible, if you agree.
