Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.49 Severity: normal
Using -d / --data-dir should either a) accept relative paths or b) mention in the manual page / help message that it accepts only absolute paths Not working example with relative path (or just directory name): $ chdist -d "test" create jaunty Now edit test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list Then run chdist apt-get jaunty update And enjoy. $ cat test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list cat: test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory Working example with absolute path: $ chdist -d "$PWD/test" create jaunty Now edit /home/tester/project/test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list Then run chdist apt-get jaunty update And enjoy. $ cat /home/tester/project/test/jaunty/etc/apt/sources.list #deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse #deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted #deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse Thank you! -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers jaunty-updates APT policy: (500, 'jaunty-updates'), (500, 'jaunty-security'), (500, 'jaunty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
