Hello. I'm trying to use pbuilder to build some local backports (from post-etch to etch).
In most cases, I want all build-deps to be installed from etch. However, sometimes some particular packages are wanted from other repository (where previously build backports are located). This should be done only if explicitly requested; by default etch versions still should be used How to do that? pbuilder-satisfybuilddeps is not smart enough to try packages from repository with lower pin-priority, even if build-depends is versioned. It just installs default version, without any notice. "--extrapackages foo/etch-backports" pbuilder arg semi-works, but it is triggered after build deps are installed, causing upgrades. Not very good IMO. The only solution I could think is to add a pre-unpack hook that will generate /etc/apt/preferences to force needed packages from alternative repository. Based on some environment variable, or something alike. Any other hints/ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
