Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.135

Apparently, it's possible to get a pbuilder chroot for x86 on
an amd64 box with the following command line (thanks to Mithrandir)

	pbuilder create --distribution sid --debootstrapopts "--arch=i386" --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/base-i386.tgz --mirror http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian

This is actually enough to bootstrap a i386 chroot.
On building a package, there is one extra work to do.
uname will give architecture string for amd64 (x86_64)
instead of i386. The tool for changing 'personality'
in amd64 is 'linux32'.
sbuild invokes linux32 before dpkg-buildpackge.
(thanks to neuro)

The missing piece for pbuilder amd64->i386 cross build 
support is 

1. documentation on the procedure
2. support for linux32
3. regression testsuite to test that
  a. bootstrap is functional
  b. build is getting uname -a with correct values
  c. package gets built

regards,
	junichi

Closes: 332737
Changes: 
 pbuilder (0.137) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [Junichi Uekawa]
   * pbuilder-doc.xml
   - Document amd64-i386 usage in FAQ. (closes: #332737)
   - typo fix
   - document /etc/mtab inside chroot is a symbollic link.
 .
   * update TODO file.
 .
   * allow debootstrap or cdebootstrap as dependency.
   - check for debootstrap installation, and output meaningful error.
     This is a follow-up to (#323843, #324648)
     rationale: debootstrap has some more features and cdebootstrap, sometimes;
     and cdebootstrap is not ported to all architectures.
 .
   [Matt Kraai]
   * If /proc is mounted, create a symbolic link from /etc/mtab to
     /proc/mounts.
