For source-only builds, I don't understand why you would want to perform the build in a chroot. You already have to be able to build the source package outside the chroot, which then gets copied into the chroot, unpacked and a new source package is built; why not use the first source package? If your aim is to check the package builds, you're not actually building any binary packages; you should instead use the new --source-only-changes option, which will build binary packages but also generate a source-only changes. For binary-indep-only, I assume you are using -A, which git-pbuilder sees as a dpkg-buildpackage option and passes on to cowbuilder via --debbuildopts. However, cowbuilder/pbuilder do not look at debbuildopts to determine what kind of build is being done; they have their own flags. Please use --binary-arch/--binary-indep as per the pbuilder man page (you may need to use --git-pbuilder-options=--binary-indep to get it passed through properly). > Personally I see this as rc bug, but that's your call. The source-only case came up recently and it was deemed that we will not fix it, and I think the same will be true of binary-indep builds via --debbuildopts, but Mattia has final say regarding that. > Thanks for taking care of cowbuilder! Thanks for using cowbuilder! James
