Hello everyone, I think this question has been answered here before. However, I could not find it in the list archives:
Since I'm behind a 64-k ISDN line, I would like pbuilder to use cached packages from /var/cache/apt/archives, if available instead of unconditionally downloading all the stuff. But unfortunately, /var/cache/apt/archives doesn't seem to be accessible from within the chroot. Well, I could run dpkg-scanpackages on /var/cache/apt/archives and make the files available through a local web server which then could be added to the pbuilderrc as OTHERMIRROR. But wouldn't pbuilder try MIRRORSITE first anyway, so that OTHERMIRROR remains completely unused? Is there a 'canonical' way to achive what I'm asking for? Thanks, Johannes -- ~/.signature under construction
