My question is whether this causes any issue if you try to build Bacula with pbuilder (pbuilder installs a minimal image in a chroot, and then applies the set of tools and prereqs necessary to build the package, and then builds it; it's great for getting your build-deps clean and for catching those things which you didn't recognize as dependencies because you've always had them installed on your system. The salient feature of pbuilder, though, is that it works in a completely hands-off way, so the manual step of update-alternatives would be a problem. My guess is that we're still OK, because pbuilder will choose one or the other of qt3 or qt4 but not both, but I don't know that for sure. I will try it at some point, I hope, but I don't have a block of time to work on it in the near future. If there are any Debian users out there with free cycles: has anyone tried building the Bacula/bat packages inside pbuilder? Does it all work? > If you *really* think this is important (your patch looks OK to > me), then > please fill out two copies of the FLA (www.bacula.org -> FSFE > License), sign > it, mail it off, and notify me at which point I'll add your patch. I would urge Chris Howells to do this; it would fix the manual- intervention-required step, and as long as it doesn't hurt any other build processes, I don't see that it's a bad thing.
