Ok, its posting now on the auto-builds page :)

I now trying to work with pbuilder which seems to be a very good tool to build debian packages for differents versions of debian/ubuntu distributions, my goal is to provide multiples x86_64 builds for ubuntu natty/maverick/etc/... and debian stable/unstable/etc/... all these builds could be done on the same 64bits computer. From what I understand it is really doable with pbuilder, I did some tests this morning.

somes questions/remarks :

A) is there some debian rules for the whole pdextended source tree ? 'pd-extended/pd' contains './debian 'but if I run pdebuild it seems it build only pd and not all the externals... see logs : http://pastebin.com/EK8MhaDj

B) alsoI had to delete pd/debian/patches/* because pdebuil wasn't able to apply patches to the source tree : <snip...> quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push -a || test $? = 2 Applying patch 01_big_endian.diff patching file src/s_audio_alsa.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 469. Hunk #2 FAILED at 581. 2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file src/s_audio_alsa.c Patch 01_big_endian.diff does not apply (enforce with -f) dh_quilt_patch: quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push -a || test $? = 2 returned exit code 1 make: *** [build] Error 25 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 E: Failed autobuilding of package I: unmounting /var/cache/pbuilder/ccache filesystem I: unmounting dev/pts filesystem I: unmounting proc filesystem I: cleaning the build env I: removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//10491 and its subdirectories

So, on my free time I'll continue to test/learn because these tools seems very powerfull !

This would be really awesome to have all those builds. pbuilder is a very powerful tool, but sadly, the Pd-extended package is a big hack and not created in a way that'll let you use pbuilder, as far as I know. Instead, I've been setting up chroots with debootstrap. The build scripts can already handle many chroots as long as they are in / var/chroot.

Do you go to the pdcon 2011 in weimar ?

My wife and I just had a baby one week ago, so I can't go this year. I've been to every other, and almost nothing else would have made me miss the PdCon. Its always been a great time and immersive experience.
