pbuilder for Debian
------------------------

This is a personal builder.

Try: 
  pbuilder create --distribution woody
to create the initial build env.

  pbuilder update
would update


pbuilder build some-random-.dsc 

would build the file specified by the .dsc file in the chroot.


If you were a Debian Developer doing some development
of Debian packages, you may try invoking pdebuild from the Debian
source directory, to save you from much typing.

edit /etc/pbuilderrc if the default doesn't work, especially proxy.
I would edit the mirror location too.
Add non-us etc, at your option.


Please report to the Debian Bug Tracking System against pbuilder
if a package does not build, and it seems like a genuine bug of pbuilder.
Also, if something is missing and necessary on some arches, 
please file a bug to "build-essential" for packages.



I would say this package works fine if these packages manage to build.

Testsuite:
	ecasound
	glibc  ( used to be a very good test. Does not build any more, why? )
	pbuilder itself (it used to have a funny Build-Depends line to
	  confuse things, but it no longer has.)
	gcc  ( trying to compile this sometimes kills my machine when
          trying to run testsuite )


Notes:

There has been some problems in the bootstrapping process of testing release of
Debian (woody) as of January 2002
pbuilder create --distribution woody did not complete.
In such case, it is possible to do :

pbuilder create --distribition potato
pbuilder update --distribution woody
