I got inspiration from this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto#The_First_Steps and this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/pbuilderrc.5.html
In my .pbuilderrc, I have: MIRRORSITE="http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/" DISTRIBUTION="sid" COMPONENTS="main" DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=("--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg") PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental Now with this, liborthancclient-dev gets installed, but v0.8.4 and I need v0.8.6 which should be in experimental (cf https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=liborthancclient0.8)... You talk about cowbuilder, the first line I have after launching git-buildpackage is "using cowbuilder as pbuilder", does that mean I use cowbuilder? And the final question about the MoM, we are now in April, is my time done? Anyway, thanks for your help!
