Package: pbuilder Version: 0.188 Severity: wishlist Hi Junichi,
what about an option to replace /dev/random with /dev/urandom inside the chroot? Installation of ia32-apt-get (current sid) during package build every time drains /dev/random and blocks until enough new random bits can be collected. For creating some temporary gpg keys/keyrings/whatever, the use of /dev/urandom should be sufficient. Are there any uses of pbuilder that might need a "good" /dev/random device? What about a new setting for pbuilder to replace /dev/random by a symlink to /dev/urandom a) never (as it is now, probably should be the default) b) during build c) always (also during login/execute --save-after, create/update, ...) ==> DEVURANDOMASDEVRANDOM=never|build|always Once a setting of 'always' was used in a session that was saved (--save-after, update, create) that change might be "permanent" and not automatically undone by setting 'never' or 'build'.
