I've exhausted my Internet search and have found two articles on how to use pbuilder-scripts:
http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=514 http://askubuntu.com/questions/53014/why-use-sbuild-over-pbuilder They are very good. But the problem is that they are *wrong* at the same time. E.g., http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=514 says, "To avoid polluting the root folder, I generally lay the folders out like this: ~/Projects/raring-i386/project/project-0.52 Then I just do this cd ~/Projects/raring-i386/project/project-0.52 pbuild" It never works for me that way. Whenever I use pbuild, I will always get: $ pbuild Could not determine project. Please specify one with -p. Also it doesn't show how to use the "pget" from the package to get the source before building. Moreover, when I tried the pget from the package, the result is not consistent with above folder layout. E.g., when try to pget pbuilder- scripts source, the folder layout I get is ~/Projects/saucy/pbuilder-scripts-19 instead of the recommended ~/Projects/saucy/pbuilder-scripts/pbuilder-scripts-19 Furthermore, http://askubuntu.com/questions/53014/why-use-sbuild-over- pbuilder says, "# 'quantal-armhf' is the name of the chroot created earlier # results in downloading package to: ~/Projects/quantal-armhf/casper/ pget quantal-armhf casper" and I found that wrong as well: $ pget saucy pbuilder-scripts Could not determine project. Please specify one with -p. The only I get it working is: $ pget -p saucy pbuilder-scripts I: Building the build Environment I: extracting base tarball [/var/cache/pbuilder/saucy.tgz] ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071029 Title: pbuilder-scripts needs man pages or docs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pbuilder-scripts/+bug/1071029/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
