I needed to backport squid to an older version of Ubuntu (Hardy), he’ere the proceedure with pbuilder.
- sudo apt-get install pbuilder debootstrap devscripts fakeroot po4a
- sudo apt-get install  build-essential libldap2-dev libdb-dev sharutils dpatch cdbs libsasl2-dev debhelper libcppunit-dev libkrb5-dev comerr-dev
- (may need to backport debhelper too)
- sudo pbuilder create –debootstrapopts –variant=buildd
- dget -x <link_address_to_foo.dsc>
- cd <package>
- sudo pdebuild
- (May need to apt-get some dependancies if it fails, possibly debhelper from backports, or build it too)
- ls /var/cache/pbuilder/result
Example ~/.pbuilderrc file:
HOOKDIR=”/var/cache/pbuilder/hook.d”
BINDMOUNTS=”/var/cache/pbuilder/result”
COMPONENTS=”main restricted universe multiverse”
OTHERMIRROR=”deb file:/var/cache/pbuilder/result/ /”
- sudo pbuilder update –override-config
- (May need to script hooks to update repo)
