Re: Performing dist-upgrade on powerpc and ppc64
Hi Adrian,
so you suggest to use powerful scripts.
Ok, got dget (from devscripts) and sbuild.
Added my user do sbuild group.

You can fetch the source from here:
$ dget -uhttp://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220801T085926Z/pool/main/p/python2.7/python2.7_2.7.18-13.2.dsc
Then build the package with sbuild:
$ sbuild -d sid --arch-all --arch=powerpc python2.7_2.7.18-13.2.dsc
So sbuild complaints I need a chroot environment. I guess that helps
with build-dependencies only being temporary installed for the build, as
opposite to use dpkg-buildpackage directly?
How can I best chreate the chroot, best would be it using by local apt
cache perhaps, I'm unsure.
Take in account this is on an iBook G4, so not a server with big space.
I think I need the correct setup for sbuild-createchroot ? What
parameters do you suggest or used on your local system?
I am skimming through a debian guide [1] and perhaps Using
/var/cache/apt/archives/ as package cache is a good idea?
