buildd-setup-chroot requires a local archive, no? I've never used it. I included a script and some instructions on building pot./sid chroots starting with the base2.2 tarball, copying, dist-upgrading. Sucks hard, but I know it works. I had some problems with debootstrap in the past (haven't looked recently) so I thought I'd wait a while before using it here. Didn't know about buildd.chroot. > > > It might make sense to add sbuild to your package, > > Err, I really don't think so. But hey, it's your time. Which is why I tried to push it on Junichi.:-) I don't really need another package. The sbuild stuff is simple because my nose is in it every day but the chroot side is a PITA. But you've convinced me (I'm easy). I won't have a decent machine for a couple weeks. I'll check out buildd.chroot and debootstrap then. > > > There's currently a little fork with the sbuild in most common use > > and CVS. > > Err, no there's not? apt patches got merged... I packaged the sbuild with the patch Ryan posted to -disc. CVS still has the FetchFile stuff as fallback. My understanding is that would be removed if it works OK over the next few weeks. Rick --
