Add universe to COMPONENTS by default

[Martin Meredith]

Binary package hint: cowdancer

Cowdancer requires that cowdancer be installable in it's created chroots. Because this is in universe, the default settings dont allow this to be installed by default .... the config would either need to be changed to pull in universe, or cowdancer would need to be in main.

[Daniel Moerner (dmoerner)]

This is obviously confirmed.

[Daniel Moerner (dmoerner)]

The simplest fix is probably to add the following to /etc/pbuilderrc:

COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"

[Martin Meredith (mez)]

However, when trying to use this with a debian pbuild, this will make it fail.

Probably the best bet is to try and get it into Main?

[Daniel Moerner (dmoerner)]

No, just use a script of some sort:

COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"

if [ "$DIST" == "etch" ]; then
    echo "Using a Debian pbuilder environment because DIST is $DIST"
    COMPONENTS="main contrib non-free"
fi

[FriedChicken (domlyons)]

Is it possible to integrate Daniel Moerners fix in Intrepid?

The better solution probably would be to get cowbuilder into main. But I guess this can't be done before Intrepid+1.

still broken in precise :(

[Otto Kekäläinen (otto)]

Still broken in 13.10

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

After some thoughts, I think this is for the best indeed. After all most of the packages are in universe, and this is a tool that historically was suggested to people not into things. And more advanced guys that knows what universe vs main is can very much tweak their config as they like most.

pbuilder (0.225) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * debian/rules:
    + change default ubuntu distribution to yakkety.
    + enable universe by default in Ubuntu. LP: #237591
  * Add builtin eatmydata support (Closes: #606158)
  * Add a USESYSFS option (defaulting to yes) to mount a sysfs filesystem in
    /sys. Closes: #773767
  * Strip leading path from when calling external programs. They are all in
    PATH, so let the shell finding them instead of calling them directly with
    the full path, so exiting things can be done. Closes: #635698
  * modules:
    + take care of saving the mount point instead of the device name when
      bind-mounting. This avoids umounting of unrelated mount points in case
      of errors. LP: #1156636
    + support specifying BINDMOUNTS destination. Thanks to Austin Phillips
      <email address hidden> for the initial patch. Closes: #593100
    + for selinux, only check for the precense of the selinux mount, instead of
      using selinuxenabled. Closes: #506917
    + in the help message be more clear about what the `execute` command is for.
      Closes: #805494
  * pbuilder.8: use BUILDDIR instead of the old /tmp/buildd.
  * create/update:
    + move the code picking extra packages to install for optional features in
      a common function in modules.
  * checkparams: add a "--use-network yes|no" cmdline flag. Closes: #823408
  * satisfydepends-funcs:
    + nicer formatting of the --help output, with a "Debugging options" section.
    + document the --internal-chrootexec option. Closes: #635697

  [ James Clarke ]
  * pdebuild: fix typo in error message (debsign, not debsing).
  * modules:
    + pass -q, -y and APTGETOPT to apt-get in remove_packages.
    + add linsysfs support for KFreeBSD.
