Re: new cowbuilder tool: make local package cache available

I’ve just written a hookscript for pbuilder which makes the

chmod +x it, drop it into the --hookdir, and you’re set¹².
Usage scenario here is mostly debian-ports: when building
packages that depend on each other, you no longer have to
wait until the first package is Installed until you can
build the second package³. It also makes older packages,
e.g. arch:all ones, available so that you can, with some
APT pinning⁴, build packages against others that have
temporarily become uninstallable in unstable, e.g. to
break build dependency cycles.
Hi Thorsten:
I think I did the same with some settings in pbuilder.
## IF you do not bind mount, precious tmpfs space is wasted, and you
will very soon
## run out of it when building a big package like Bespin/IceDove/KDE
#APTCACHE="/var/cache/apt/archives/" ### We set this to off because we
are already bind-mounting it.
## Aslo settings cachelink to no becasue we are bind mounting it, thus
no need to create a link
APTCACHE=""
BINDMOUNTS="/var/cache/apt/archives/"
APTCACHEHARDLINK=no
AUTOCLEANAPTCACHE=no
EXTRAPACKAGES="eatmydata apt-utils debdelta"
## Use these when you have a package build-dep that is not yet pushed
into archive.
## For details, see: http://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks
#OTHERMIRROR="deb file:///var/tmp/Debian-Build/pbuilder-deps ./"
#BINDMOUNTS="$BINDMOUNTS /var/tmp/Debian-Build/pbuilder-deps"
# Comment HOOKDIR when you are at home with very slow internet
connection because
# it runs apt-get update on each pbuilder build invocation
#HOOKDIR="/home/rrs/.pbuilder/hooks"
#ALLOWUNTRUSTED=yes
