Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.5.10
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
I find that my /var is too much space-constrained, and would like to use
a different place to build at. Unfortunately, paths are largely
hardwired into the system, but here's a patch to start changing that.
It honors the BASEDIR variable, if set in /etc/pbuilderrc.
Kind regards,
