Package: cowbuilder Version: 0.62+nmu2 Severity: normal I'm pimping my local package build environments, by enabling cowbuilder/ccache/eatmydata. However, cowbuilder doesn't like to install extra packages that I ask for. In my /etc/pbuilderrc, I have specified:
EXTRAPACKAGES="eatmydata ccache" Building a new sid chroot with pbuilder works fine, and those packages are installed. However, when I run cowbuilder with substantially the same options, the package is not installed. It would appear that cowbuilder is calling pbuilder with the --extrapackages option explicitly specified, which is overriding my config option: $ sudo cowbuilder --create --distribution sid --mirror http://localhost:9999/debian --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/chroots/sid.cow -> Invoking pbuilder forking: pbuilder create --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/chroots/sid.cow --mirror http://localhost:9999/debian --distribution sid --no-targz --extrapackages cowdancer (Note the explicit --extrapackages cowdancer at the end) I've also tried explicitly setting --extrapackages in my cowbuilder command line, but that doesn't seem to do the trick either: $ sudo cowbuilder --create --distribution sid --mirror http://localhost:9999/debian --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/chroots/sid.cow --extrapackages="ccache eatmydata" -> Invoking pbuilder forking: pbuilder create --extrapackages ccache eatmydata --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/chroots/sid.cow --mirror http://localhost:9999/debian --distribution sid --no-targz --extrapackages cowdancer It just tacks my extrapackages on the front, which presumably pbuilder then decides to ignore in favour of the later-specified extrapackages that cowbuilder provides. I think that cowbuilder needs to intelligently incorporate any existing extra packages options into it's own call to pbuilder. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cowbuilder depends on: ii cowdancer 0.47 Copy-on-write directory tree utili ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii pbuilder 0.181 personal package builder for Debia cowbuilder recommends no packages. cowbuilder suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
