Hello, Situation background: I have two packages which are not available in debian archive. The first one is a library, the second one depends on. The library package builds in pbuilder just fine, but when I try to build the second one I run in unsatisfied build-depends since the library package is not available.
Workaround: use a simple D hook script [1] to access via http method of apt needed build depends which are stored in manually prepared apt repo (well, on the same machine). That worked just fine, but why should I have web or ftp server installed to feed additional packages to the pbuilder's chroot ? No a good idea, and I think there is room for improvement. Improvement?: I think the wishlist described in #316547 has its merits, since one should be able to feed self-healing pbuilder image with needed build-depends at least. The external (outside chroot hook script will be used to re-index[2] the apt repo which in fact could be pbuilder's result/ directory with previuosly built packages stored in there and copy that directory inside the chroot image one could access via file: method of apt. Or other way round, copy packages inside chroot and re-index that apt repo. What do you think and am I missing something pretyty obvious here ? [1] D hook script #!/bin/sh echo "deb http://localhost/pub ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list echo "Acquire::PDiffs \"false\"; " >> /etc/apt/apt.conf apt-get update Note: Disabled PDiffs option speeds the things up for initial update, but that is optional of course. [2] well, simple apt-ftparchive packages . | gzip -f > Packages.gz should suffice. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
