I have been building some packages using pbuilder for a while now without really doing it "proper". (using debian as mirrorsite)
So i tried to set up a pbuilderrc of my own to override some settings, and i can't really get past the debootstrap "downloading release" state. I tried MIRRORSITE=http://packages.parsix.org/official (it's the only thing i could think of), and that doesn't work....
So my question is, what variables do i have to change/override to have a "proper" setup for building packages in "ramon"?
Also, what is the difference between "official" and "continent"?
Another question would be what guidelines do you follow when building packages? I've seen many changelogs marked with "unstable" even though this would be "testing/lenny" or to be even more precise - "ramon".
Maybe you should package pbuilder with an example config for parsix with the next release?
Thanks in advance. |

Use http://packages.parsix.org/continent as primary and http://packages.parsix.org/official as secondary mirror.

official repository contains packages supported and packages by Parsix team and continent is the whole Debian testing repository except official packages. Continent is going to be frozen for Ramon, after r1 release. Then continent will be updated only for Viola (Parsix 1.5)

In Debian, packages migrate from unstable->testing->stable, even in stable change logs, you will see word `unstable`. We use Debian standards and guidelines. We have a simple build server to build packages straight from the SVN repository: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-parsix/scripts/buildd/

Check out the build server code that uses pbuilder to build packages. |

Thanks for taking the time clearing things up.
I tried to mimic the buildscript when creating the bootstrap
Code:
~$ sudo pbuilder --create --distribution ramon --override-config --debootstrap debootstrap --mirror "http://packages.parsix.org/continent" --othermirror "deb http://packages.parsix.org/official ramon main contrib non-free"
Distribution is ramon.
Building the build environment
-> running debootstrap
/usr/sbin/debootstrap
E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/ramon
pbuilder: debootstrap failed
-> Aborting with an error
-> cleaning the build env
-> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//18755 and its subdirectories
So obviously i'm doing something wrong?  [edit]i've also tried lenny as --distribution[/edit] |

Allright! (It wasn't self-explainatory though...)
I hate to bother you with this other problem, but since i can't seem to figure this one out as well;
Code:
...<SNIP>...
I: Extracting util-linux...
I: Extracting zlib1g...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/build/17994/. mount -t proc proc /proc
pbuilder: debootstrap failed
-> Aborting with an error
-> cleaning the build env
-> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//17994 and its subdirectories
Since i use sudo i thought this was related to not being root, but unfortunately that doesn't work either. |

Seems to work allright. I used lenny as --distribution using the standard debian repos, then updated to ramon. Seems to work allright.
Thanks for the help! |

Any chance this will get fixed, since it's a bit ugly to create a "lenny" base.tgza nd then updating it tp "ramon"?
btw, is "etch" a better choice if parsix will be frozen, since "lenny" will install newer packages, and thus keep "ramon" packages out of the base.tgz? |

I'm afraid that unless i'm missing something, this is what happens on both viola *and* ramon;
Code:
...snip...
I: Configuring g++...
W: Failure while configuring base packages.
W: Failure while configuring base packages.
W: Failure while configuring base packages.
W: Failure while configuring base packages.
W: Failure while configuring base packages.
pbuilder: debootstrap failed
-> Aborting with an error
-> cleaning the build env
-> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//3865 and its subdirectories
This is my .pbuilderrc
Code:
DEBOOTSTRAP="debootstrap"
# Default distribution
DISTRIBUTION=viola
COMPONENTS="main contrib non-free"
# Repositories
MIRRORSITE=http://packages.parsix.org/continent
OTHERMIRROR="deb http://packages.parsix.org/official viola main contrib non-free"
I *do* appreciate your effort though. Just wanted to let you know.
It's probably just me, doing something wrong i guess |

I took the time to try building a base tgz again, and what do you know - it works! It is certainly nice to have a clean building enviroment, straight from the parsix repos (as was originally intended).
Thanks for all the time you put into this alan |

Hey, just as update on viola;
Code:
I: Base system installed successfully.
-> debootstrap finished
-> copying local configuration
-> Installing apt-lines
W: no hooks of type G found -- ignoring
Refreshing the base.tgz
-> upgrading packages
-> mounting /proc filesystem
-> mounting /dev/pts filesystem
-> Mounting /home/pelle/temp/parsix-build/result
-> installing dummy policy-rc.d
chroot: cannot run command `/usr/bin/apt-get': No such file or directory
-> Aborting with an error
-> unmounting /home/pelle/temp/parsix-build/result filesystem
-> unmounting dev/pts filesystem
-> unmounting proc filesystem
-> cleaning the build env
-> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//6094 and its subdirectories
Any thoughts on that alan?
my pbuilderrc looks identical to the one two posts above.
