Bug#652527: pbuilder: No hook option for after .debs are written

[Philip Ashmore]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.204
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
I've got a chain of 4 packages the last three depend on the ones before it.

I created a simple mirror using
   dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages

And updated my ~/.pbuilderrc to contain
   BINDMOUNTS="/var/cache/pbuilder/build"
   BUILDRESULT="/var/cache/pbuilder/build"
   OTHERMIRROR="deb file://var/cache/pbuilder/build/ ./"
   HOOKDIR="/var/cache/pbuilder/hooks"

I added a hook to regenerate the Packages file for this repo:
/var/cache/pbuilder/hooks/D70results
   #!/bin/sh
   cd /var/cache/pbuilder/build
   /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > /var/cache/pbuilder/build/Packages
   /usr/bin/apt-get update

....and made it executable.

This all works fine, and I can skip along, building the debian package and then
   sudo pbuilder build build/*.dsc

In each konsole window to pick up the new packages that the next one requires.

The inconvenience is the lack of a hook that does what the existing hook does,
but after the .debs
are written to the $BUILDRESULT directory.

That way, the Packages file could be updated with the new .deb files.
I need to do this as I need the previous package installed on my system so I
can create the input files for pbuilder.

As it is, I have to do this by hand, and it's easy to forget, although not a
huge inconvenience.
