Package: sbuild Version: 0.42 Severity: wishlist The problem of running multiple sbuild instances at the same time in different chroots is that they all have their own chroot-*/var/cache/apt/archives directory in which downloads are put. It would be nice if all instances would share one cache.
Now I realize that this is only possible in split mode and not when using schroot and that you could argue that I should simply use a proxy, but maybe it would at least be possible to add something to the documentation, e.g. an example of how to bind mount the /var/cache/apt/archives dir and how to achieve it with sbuild. I suppose my situation is not very common since I'm building the same suite with multiple sbuild instances. Sharing the cache dir probably wouldn't help much if you built different suites. However, it certainly cannot hurt... Another important factor is disk space saving. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-rc5-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii adduser 3.80 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.6.43.2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii dpkg-dev 1.13.16 package building tools for Debian ii grep-dctrl 2.6.7 Grep Debian package information ii perl 5.8.8-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.2.8-9 A high-performance mail transport ii sudo 1.6.8p12-1 Provide limited super user privile Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii debootstrap 0.3.3 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii fakeroot 1.5.7 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
