Re: new cowbuilder tool: make local package cache available

It also makes older packages, e.g. arch:all ones, available so that you can, with some APT pinning⁴, build packages against others that have temporarily become uninstallable in unstable, e.g. to break build dependency cycles. Hi Thorsten: I think I did the same with some settings in pbuilder. ## IF you do not bind mount, precious tmpfs space is wasted, and you will very soon ## run out of it when building a big package like Bespin/IceDove/KDE #APTCACHE=/var/cache/apt/archives/ ### We set this to off because we are already bind-mounting it. ## Aslo settings cachelink to no becasue we are bind mounting it, thus no need to create a link APTCACHE= BINDMOUNTS=/var/cache/apt/archives/ APTCACHEHARDLINK=no AUTOCLEANAPTCACHE=no EXTRAPACKAGES=eatmydata apt-utils debdelta ## Use these when you have a package build-dep that is not yet pushed into archive. ## For details, see: http://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks #OTHERMIRROR=deb file:///var/tmp/Debian-Build/pbuilder-deps ./ #BINDMOUNTS=$BINDMOUNTS /var/tmp/Debian-Build/pbuilder-deps # Comment HOOKDIR when you are at home with very slow internet connection because # it runs apt-get update on each pbuilder build invocation #HOOKDIR=/home/rrs/.pbuilder/hooks #ALLOWUNTRUSTED=yes -- Given the large number of mailing lists I follow, I request you to CC me in replies for quicker response -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I see nothing there that actually generates a Packages file. ## For details, see: http://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks This also indicates you need a “D” hook script to do that. I just wrote one, which requires less local configuration, and avoids pulling the local packages into builds that do not need them by adding the sources.list line late. But sure, use either. I just felt like sharing. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in Notes on Programming in C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

It also makes older packages, Hrm. Just, there seems to be no hook for running before a cowbuilder --update so an update to, say, gcc-4.9 will not be made available, unless the resolver picks this up during B-D installation. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in Notes on Programming in C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
