Changelog
pbuilder (0.227) unstable; urgency=medium
[ James Clarke ]
* pbuilder-apt-config: Add yakkety and zesty; retire lucid, vivid and wily.
* debian/rules: Change default Ubuntu DISTRIBUTION to zesty.
[ Mattia Rizzolo ]
* Add an APT based resolver. Closes: #707825
This is named pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt; it requires apt >= 1.2.2 inside
the chroot to work, otherwise it'll just fail. I recommend moving to this
instead of any other for those who can (probably the default will change at
some point in the future, after the stretch release).
* Add initial cross build support. Closes: #801799
+ Add a new --host-arch command line option (setting non-public HOST_ARCH
variable) to set the *host* architecture; if not specified it defaults to
the build architecture.
+ --architecture/ARCHITECTURE is used to specify the *build* architecture;
it defaults to the architecture of the host as reported by dpkg.
+ Some automatic setup is done to allow cross building (at `build` time):
- the host architecture is added to dpkg's list of architectures;
- crossbuild-essential-$HOST_ARCH, libc-dev:$HOST_ARCH and
libstdc++-6-dev:$HOST_ARCH are preinstalled (the latter two due to
bug #815172 in build-essential);
- `--host-arch $HOST_ARCH` is passed to dpkg-buildpackage;
- 'nocheck' is added to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS;
- 'nocheck cross' is added to DEB_BUILD_PROFILES.
+ A new --no-auto-cross can be used to override partially or all of the
above automatism; see pbuilder(8) for more.
+ The dependency statisfiers now receive BUILD_ARCH and HOST_ARCH variables
(through --(host|build)-arch options used when call them).
+ The only dependency satisfier allowed when cross building is the APT one,
as that's the only one supporting --host-arch at the moment.
This implementation is still *experimental*, details may vary across the
next releases, especially the part relative to what's is automatically done.
* buildpackage:
+ copy the source into the chroot before satisfying the build-deps.
This allows for very easy use of `apt-get build-dep`.
* buildpackage-funcs:
+ Add a --bin-nmu-timestamp option to specify the timestamp for a binNMU
changelog. Closes: #843867
+ add a _find_additional_buildresults() function to do proper match of file
names passed through ADDITIONAL_BUILDRESULT. Closes: #837813
* pbuilderrc.5:
+ better example for ADDITIONAL_BUILDRESULTS.
Thanks to Andreas Henriksson for the suggestion.
* pbuilder.8:
+ document that now BUILD_ARCH and HOST_ARCH variables are being passed to
hook scripts.
* modules:
+ remove_packages: check for package existence in the chroot, not in the
host. Closes: #840146; LP: #1640892
+ _log(): properly pass arguments to printf.
Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <email address hidden> for noticing. Closes: #845438
* loadconfig:
+ be more honest about why it's not possible to load a conf file, instead
of just saying "it doesn't exist". Also, fail in case the file exists,
but can't be loaded. Closes: #844560
* checkparams:
+ add a --profile option to specify build profiles to build with.
Closes: #844700
* Debian packaging: bump debhelper compat level to 10.
