Package: cowbuilder
Version: 0.61
Severity: normal
My ~/.pbuilderrc has this in it:
if [ -n "${DIST}" ]; then
BASETGZ="`dirname $BASETGZ`/$DIST-base.tgz"
DISTRIBUTION="$DIST"
BUILDRESULT="/var/cache/pbuilder/$DIST/result/"
APTCACHE="/var/cache/pbuilder/$DIST/aptcache/"
fi
(which comes from http://pbuilder.alioth.debian.org/#DISTRIBUTIONSWITCH)
The cowbuilder(8) man page says that cowbuilder reads ~/.pbuilderrc, but when I
do the following, it is clearly not used:
pond% DIST=lenny sudo cowbuilder --update
-> Copying COW directory
forking: rm -rf /var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.28818
forking: cp -al /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow
/var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.28818
cp: cannot stat `/var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow': No such file or directory
Failed cowcopy.
and when I do a --create, its clear that the --distribution is overridden
somehow and created as sid:
pond% sudo DIST=lenny cowbuilder --create --debug
-> Invoking pbuilder
forking: pbuilder create --debug --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow
--mirror http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian/ --distribution sid --no-targz
--extrapackages cowdancer
++ shift
++ '[' -n --buildplace ']'
++ case "$1" in
++ '[' '!' -d /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow ']'

++ case "$1" in

++ shift
++ '[' -n --no-targz ']'
++ case "$1" in
++ log 'I: Running in no-targz mode'
++ case "$*" in
++ echo 'I: Running in no-targz mode'
I: Running in no-targz mode
++ INTERNAL_BUILD_UML=yes
++ shift
++ '[' -n --extrapackages ']'
++ case "$1" in
++ EXTRAPACKAGES=cowdancer
++ shift
++ shift
++ '[' -n '' ']'
++ BUILDPLACE=/var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow
++ BASEBUILDPLACE=/var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow
If I pass the --configfile option to point directly at my
~/.pbuilderrc, it does start to use it, but then the options get
overridden. The BASETGZ gets set to the right place, the DISTRIBUTION
gets set to the right one, the BUILDRESULT gets set to the right one,
but then they are reset later in the process to be the wrong ones:
pond% sudo DIST=lenny cowbuilder --create --debug --configfile
/home/micah/.pbuilderrc

forking: pbuilder create --debug --configfile /home/micah/.pbuilderrc
--buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow --mirror

Notice in the above that the DISTRIBUTION was set to lenny, but now it
is set to sid, and the other environment variables that were
previously set have been overridden.
thanks for your work on these utilities!
