Title:
trusty/utopic pbuilder targets saucy by default
Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “pbuilder” source package in Trusty:
In Progress
Bug description:
pbuilder version 0.215ubuntu7, currently in both trusty and utopic, still has
DISTRIBUTION=saucy
in its /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc . While easy to work around, this is inelegant.
Maybe the default should be something like $(lsb_release -s -c) ? I'm
not sure it's safe to evaluate it at run time, but package build time
should be OK.
SRU for 14.04
[Impact]
Developers setting up pbuilder on Ubuntu 14.04 will, unless specifying otherwise, get an older EOL-ed release selected as the default distribution.
[Test Case]
0. Verify ~/.pbuilderrc doesn't override the defaults by setting a value for DISTRIBUTION
1. Run `sudo pbuilder create`
The output should mention "Distribution is trusty.", not "Distribution is saucy."
[Regression potential]
I'm not familiar with this package, but I would assume very little. It only updates the default of one property to a valid distribution. It is presently fully possible to set the same value manually without any problems.
