I'm giving a try to pbuilder. I launched it with --no-targz to not download everything with every build. It's possible to tell pbuilder to get packages from /var/cache/apt/archives ? Yes, I did a script that parses pbuilder output and copy packages available on /var/cache to <buildroot>/var/cache. But, is there a pbuilder option for it ? I hate every bit download twice while living with a 33 KBps dial-up. :) Regards mike
