alright, i think i'm basically set up but just have one more question to ask. i jsut want to make sure i'm going about everything right.

for testing i backported deskbar-applet as follows, was just wondering if i was missing anything or what not (i;m obviously new at packaging)

got my chroot via pbuilder.
login to the chroot.
apt-get build-dep deskbar-applet
apt-get source deskbar-applet (fetches all sources from dapper repos)
cd deskbar-applet-x.x/
dpkg-buildpackage -d

leaves me with the .deb, pending ant errors of course.

anything else? any suggestions? whats the procedure once the build completes and everything works fine? just notify the list to have someone "official" build it or what?

thanks for the help again.

        hmm, okay. one question regarding pbuilder/ubp-build.py. if
        your using
        ubp-build.py inside the pbuilder chroot..how do you fetch the
        dapper
        source packages? do you just do it by hand, or can you change
        where teh
        sources are fetch from, so its all automatic?

You don't use ubp-build.py inside pbuilder... ubp-build.py
accomplishes tasks similar to pbuilder, with you in command instead of
pbuilder inside the chroot.

Either way, configuration of sources is done by adding deb-src lines
for Dapper, whether it's /etc/apt/sources.list inside the chroot or
the pbuilder config file.


        thanks for the help getting set up guys.

meh, either way is fine... I've just never really caught on
        to
pbuilder... At times I appreciate the speed of the
        unpack-and-hack
approach to figuring out what it takes for a package to
        start
compiling...

I've been playing with Device Mapper's Copy-on-Write
        functionality for
making all changes to the chroot temporary.

google ubp-build.py....

I run ubp-build.py inside a chroot, which is
        cleaned fairly
        frequently.
As
long as you don't do stupid things to the chroot,
        it'll
        stay fairly
clean...

How about using PBuilder? it guarantees a clean
        chroot, and
        is really
handy to use. See
        http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto for
instructions

        +1 from me since I've never had any issues with
        pbuilder and
        it's create
        for testing out dependancy's.
