Develop pbuilder - builds inside Docker

[dreamcat4]

Hi @adamsutton,
This is the temp/test repo I created to work in (https://github.com/dreamcat4/tvh.build.tmp).

Hopefully you can also see here on Docker Hub it's build logs:

https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/dreamcat4/tvh.build.pbuilder/dockerfile/

^^ that's the first image. I've made it as a 3-tiered structure. So in each subfolder there is another Dockerfile which builds on-top of the preious one, etc.

BTW:

I could not find any pkg in default ubuntu repos with the exact name pbuilder-dist. So either it's a) in backports? or b) a cmd in the main pkg, pbuilder ?

Perhaps there are other a few other useful helper pkgs that can be installed in conjunction with the main / vanilla pbuilder ?

And here's the 2nd layer:

[edit] Base image appears to be missing pbuilder-dist. It comes from other dev pkg:

0979fc0

Hmm not sure what this means...

I: Running command: chroot . /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
chroot: failed to run command '/debootstrap/debootstrap': Exec format error
E: qemu-debootstrap failed

Perhaps we would have better luck trying out an i386 build (for test example) before moving onto such ARM cross-compile. More work / is tougher for ARM.

[edit] @adamsutton Have given you push access (collaborator) on this repo. Or you can fork, git clone your own copy of it to play around with.
