Re: cowbuilder and --distribution experimental

["Salvatore Ansani" <ml@ansani.it>]

Hi Vincent,
when I use --distribution experimental, pbuilder automatically (or 
automagically :) ) add experimental repository in my apt/sources.list and 
set pinning for experimental repository.

Chroot environment is built from unstable distro.

I want to use experimental distro, to build a kde4 package wich depend from 
kde-workspace-dev (now only in experimental).

Regards,
Salvatore
