This is what my existing ~/.pbuilderrc is which is symlinked to ~/root/.pbuilderrc



$ cat ~/.pbuilderrc 
BASEPATH="/var/cache/pbuilder/sid-amd64/base.cow"
DISTRIBUTION="sid"
MIRRORSITE="http://deb.debian.org/debian/"
# Enable build log
PKGNAME_LOGFILE="yes"


while I am understanding how cowbuilder and pbuilder works, is it possible to have a log file which shows how the build happened even after the build is successfully created.



Update - I am using cowbuilder and don't see any way to have detailed logs to keep after a run happens.

          If you run pbuilder manually, you can use the --logfile and --loglevel options to specify where and what to log.



          Generally speaking though you’ll use pbuilder via another tool, which will take care of logs for you. For example, pdebuild will leave a log file ending in .build, with start and end timestamps, containing the build logs, alongside the packages it gets from pbuilder.



          The same applies to cowbuilder: pdebuild --pbuilder cowbuilder will build a package using cowbuilder and leave a log file names after the package, ending in .build, alongside the resulting packages (typically in the parent directory).
