so using script mentioned by comment #7 Frans van Berckel

I would need to input passphrase at some point , but using next constructions one can avoid passwordless gpg key and reuse gpg-agent with su

su -l -c “bash -i -c \”/usr/bin/reprepro -V -b ${basedir} includedeb ${d} ${i}\”" ftpmaster

with bash -i -c GPG_AGENT_INFO variable will be setup correctly from .bashrc

here is the part of .bashrc responsible for gpg-agent

pgrep -u $USER gpg-agent || gpg-agent –daemon –enable-ssh-support –write-env-file “${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info” –default-cache-ttl 600

if [ -f "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" ]; then
. “${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info”
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
export SSH_AGENT_PID
fi
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

but I run into one problem .

for example I have a source package which I have built on my system – i have .dsc file _source.changes , and so on .

now I upload with dupload or dput this _source.changes file and company to the repository server .

after I’ve uploaded stuff to incoming on the repository server I run
reprepro processincoming incoming

and my .dsc and other files are added to the repository

but when the build process spawned by Log : is finished , and rebuildd tries to put the new package to the repository the checksum on the new package is different and I get something like following :

File “pool/main/libp/libpam-abl/libpam-abl_0.4.1-1.dsc” is already registered with different checksums!
md5 expected: 79c0aaadf3f1deb26722d959db052cd5, got: b59bc17aa5cc072c8f2a091dbb745949

size expected: 1848, got: 964
There have been errors!

So the here is more general problem – because there is only one pool , it is not possible to have the same package-version in different distributions like sid and lenny .

Anyway thank you a lot for sharing such a nice manual .

best regards ,
Alex

Basically you need to add the PPA to your sources.list so that it is used to grab dependencies from. You also need a pre-depend hook to perform an aptitude update.

Edit /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc

 HOOKDIR="/etc/pbuilder/hooks"

then

mkdir /etc/pbuilder/hooks
echo -e "#!/bin/sh\n/usr/bin/aptitude update\n" > /etc/pbuilder/hooks/D70aptitude_update
