Right. I did this after stracing pdebuild with "PDEBUILD_PBUILDER=cowbuilder", and seeing that a similar "cp -al ..." happens there, too. > That > also explains why cowbuilder doesnt store any aptcache, because its not > even called. I'n not sure if caching happens if piupart uses pbuilder's tar.gz because pbuilder isn't invoked either IIRC but only it's .tar.gz unpacked instead of using debootstrap. But anyway, input from piupart/cowbuilder/python experts is highly appreciated ;-) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ | gpg key ID: 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : debian: the universal operating system - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' member of https://www.vibe.at/ | how to reply: http://got.to/quote/ `- NP: Eric Clapton: After Midnight
