Bug Description
Please backport pbuilder-scripts 17 (universe) from quantal to precise.
Reason for the backport:
=======
Greatly increases productivity when doing package builds on a daily basis.
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:adam-
* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] pbuilder-scripts installs cleanly and runs
No reverse dependencies
Additional Notes:
=================
I've been running this successfully on Precise to handle package
builds for Lucid, Precise, and Quantal.
While I will not argue that everyone has their own tools, but have you seen ubuntu-dev-tools?
Specifically:
pget equivalent is pull-lp-source which can do this:
$ pull-lp-source autofs (will pull the source package from raring)
$ pull-lp-source autofs5 lucid-updates ($distro-$pocket to pull from)
$ pull-lp-source autofs5 5.0.4-3.1ubuntu5.1 (exact version to pull)
Also there is $ pull-debian-source which does the same thing but fetches from debian or snapshots.
Above includes _any_ of the old releases.
pcreate, pudate, pbuild etc can be used with pbuilder-dist
$ pbuilder-dist $distro [$arch] $action
Where actions are: create, update, build, clean, login, execute.
Plus it supports symlinks, e.g. you can create a symlink $ pbuilder- dist-lucid, and it will tab-complete & default to lucid.
So my question is why do you want these, instead of using pbuilder-dist & pull-lp-source from the ubuntu-dev-tools package which is already in precise and has all of these tools supporting all releases (past and development).
(it can even use cowbuilder for faster build)
