Hum...

I spoke too quickly ...

And it seems to be an issue with pdebuild.

So I have created a package for nvidia 180.37 drivers.

First, compile (with source) AMD64 version:
$ ARCH=amd64 pdebuild --buildresult ~
$ ls -la nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubuntu1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 avenardj avenardj 42318454 2009-03-17 18:32
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubuntu1.tar.gz
$ openssl md5 nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubuntu1.tar.gz
MD5(nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubuntu1.tar.gz)=
ef9eb6e4d7c6d15e6c077e6c460fc511

So far so good:
$ ARCH=i386 pdebuild  --debbuildopts -B --buildresult ~
$ ls -la nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubbuntu1.tar.gz
$ -rw-r--r-- 1 avenardj avenardj 42314954 2009-03-17 18:42
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubuntu1.tar.gz
$ openssl md5 nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubbuntu1.tar.gz
MD5(nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.37-0ubuntu1.tar.gz)=
03c2c5149ca704e3b43310f498d26ff3

As you can see, the source file has been changed...

When you look at the output from pdebuild, you can see:
$ DIST=hardy ARCH=i386 pdebuild --debbuildopts -B  --buildresult ~/pcliving/ne

So it is creating a .tar.gz file ; and it looks like pdebuild isn't
aware that the source code isn't to be copied in the result directory
at the end.

Sounds like a bug to me..

Any ideas on how to get around that ?

Thanks
