When sbuild is used to compile a package from sources, some packages (package dependencies) are internally downloaded and installed in schroot.
I'm looking for a way to cache the dependencies in form of .deb files outside the schroot. So that I could later create a local partial debian repo from these .deb files and run sbuild for a second time using the same schroot but with local repo for getting dependencies. I tried several options for sbuild (like --purge-build=never, --purge- deps=never, --purge-session=never), tried to find .deb files during the build using at some stages (--pre-build-commands="ls -la /var/cache/apt/archives/", --starting-build-commands="ls -la /var/cache/apt/archives/", --finished-build- commands="ls -la /var/cache/apt/archives/") - but I couldn't see any .deb files inside the schroot. -- Uladzimir Bely Promwad Ltd.
