Hi, I want to rebuild the archive but am to lazy to setup this whole wanna-build/buildd/sbuild stuff.
I thought it would be easier to write a simple script which builds each package with cowbuilder as I already do when building my own packages. Assuming you have a list with all packages to build in a textfile my script basically does (pseudocode): for package in file mkdir package cd package apt-get source package cd package-* pdebuild --buildresult .. &> somelogfile cd ../.. rm -rf * So far so good, now I have two problems: 1. My package list contains all packages from ftp.debian.org/../Sources.gz, this means I'm also building packages which are not targeted for the arch this script is running. What is the quickest way to get just the relevant packages for this arch? 2. I've noticed that cowbuilder runs the clean-target of debian/rules before it enters the clean environment. This means that sometimes the build already fails before pbuilder enters the clean environment since clean already fails (E.g. when cdbs is not installed on the host system). Is this a bug or a feature of cowbuilder/pbuilder? Is there a workaround?
