[Bug 1316423] Re: trusty/utopic pbuilder targets saucy by default

[Chris J Arges]

Hello Sergio, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pbuilder into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pbuilder/0.215ubuntu7.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: pbuilder (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  trusty/utopic pbuilder targets saucy by default

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “pbuilder” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

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.
