In that case, using cowbuilder instead could work, though I'm not sure if it just hooks through the `pbuilder' command or if it actually uses the chroot base image itself. Based on what you said though, I assume the latter, which sounds like kinda crappy program design :P
I'd like to see a feature to use cowbuilder's chroot instead, though I don't know of the technical challenges there. Certainly such a feature would make it easier to use and thus run more often. Better yet, if we could periodically run it on all of the modules in our SVN repository (pkg-perl) and display the logs, then it would give us a nice to-do list of things to look at. > > Cheers, > gregor > -- > .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ -- GPG Key IDs: 0x00F3CFE4, 0x8649AA06 > : :' : Debian GNU/Linux user, admin, & developer - http://www.debian.org/ > `. `' Member of VIBE!AT, SPI Inc., fellow of FSFE | http://got.to/quote/ > `- BOFH excuse #277: Your Flux Capacitor has gone bad. > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAkpl4IwACgkQOzKYnQDzz+T6FACgnliy+FnxuwoOKBDqBiVXqbM1 > 68MAoP5aCzzCS7URn3EC2UIw7iQ1pGYb > =T1Nk > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
