Maybe this goes against the philosphy of the build script, but couldn't you use rsync instead of taring and untaring? This would help with a use case where our users are complaining about having to tar and untar big things, like the kernel-source, when doing development. We could just treat their Subversion workareas as the overlay directory and overlay it where kernel-source.tar.bz2 would be untarred normally. This would necessitate specifying the root of the overlay in the chroot though, so may make this overcomplicated.
I could use that for Qt too:
--overlay <source path>[ = <target path>]
where <target path> defaults to / but would often be /usr/src/packages/BUILD
Ok, a version using rsync is working, but its not that easy ;) - atm I'm testing rpm build and rpmbuild will do %prep and %setup . This inclues a "rm <name-version>; tar -xf name-version.tar". So the rsynced tree is lost :P . Assuming the rsynced tree needs no patches and setup and stuff, I'll handle that for rpm, but we've to see how debian extracts the sources and if it can be tweaked.
