I've now got support for passing any dpkg-buildpackage options to emdebuild in Emdebian SVN but I don't think it is wise to allow control over -uc -us - those fail persistently so the current builds have always turned them off. When packages are uploaded via emrecent, the signature is checked and requested if missing. Also, it makes no sense to allow '-a' to be set for dpkg-buildpackage in a manner that could conflict with the -a setting to emdebuild itself (which itself passes -a to dpkg-buildpackage). So the support in emdebuild will *drop* any -a option should someone try to pass it directly to dpkg-buildpackage. Example syntax: $ emdebuild -a arm -v --svn $ emdebuild -a armel -v -- -B The first updates the patches in Emdebian SVN, includes the .dsc and .diff.gz (includes .orig.tar.gz if this is the em1 version too) and builds for the Emdebian "primary architecture" of ARM. The second shows how other this option needs to be disseminated through the other scripts so that autobuilders are able to use -B for non-ARM builds and hence prevent conflicts in the repository when armel is uploaded alongside ARM. In essence, the "upload" architecture is preset at ARM and the "port" architectures are all the others. This could change after Lenny. To allow uploads to private repositories and other customised / partial mirrors, the -- -B support needs to be user-selectable, probably within the --upload-handler passed to em_autobuild (which means extending this support to emsource -b which passes it transparently down to emdebuild). Support for this bug 'as-is' is now in Emdebian SVN but the full fix needs a little more testing. I might complete the fix in 1.4.7, it might need to wait for a full fix in 1.4.8. Other dpkg-buildpackage options are supported - if there are other clear examples where no use of a particular option can be deemed sane or useful, I'll add a filter just as I have with -a. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
