Yes that's the current behaviour. I agree that having all --git-pbuilder option appended and not overwritten would be nicer. I wouldn't worry about backward compatibility here. > > When passing multiple options on the commandline, this is (for me) > unexpected but easily fixed by passing all needed options into a single > --git-pbuilder-options, but when a gbp.conf file also uses > "pbuilder-options", these are also overriden by the commandline, which > is harder to fix (which needs copying the options from the config file > to the commandline). This in fact is intended since otherwise there'd be now way to override what's in gbp.conf (or rather in the several gbp.conf's parsed). Cheers, -- Guido
