pcreate from pbuilder-scripts unable to help building Debian packages on Ubuntu

[Tong Sun]

Hi,

If I want to build Debian packages on Ubuntu, I have to add Debian distribution name, Debian mirror and key location to pbuilder command line like this:

sudo pbuilder create --distribution squeeze --mirror ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ --debootstrapopts "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg"

but given the limited options available in pcreate [1], pcreate seems unable to cut it.

thanks

I see that pcreate has only a few limited options:

Usage: pcreate [-c COMPONENTS] [-e "EXTRA PACKAGES"] [-s SOURCES]
               -a ARCH -d DIST PROJECT

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1243366/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
