Subject: RFA: sbuild -- Tool for building Debian binary packages from Debian
sources
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-04-28
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the sbuild package.
The package description is:
sbuild is part of a suite of programs -- consisting of
wanna-build, buildd and sbuild -- written by Roman Hodek and
used by most architectures to build binary packages from source
packages. buildd schedules work from information it gets from
wanna-build; sbuild does the grunt-work.
.
sbuild can do its work in chroots so both stable and unstable
environments can be used on the same machine. Useful for, say,
building the latest unstable packages against stable library
versions. And by keeping only essential and build-essential
in the chroots, you can find the correct build dependencies for
a package.
I don't have time maintain sbuild properly; it deserves better.
The adopter should be a developer to check out the sbuilds on
the various buildd machines for improvements (they all vary a
bit) and should have decent bandwidth to fix the chroot building.
There are a debootstrap scripts for that at
http://buildd.debian.org/buildd.chroot (for woody)
http://buildd.debian.org/buildd.chroot.sarge (for sarge and sid)
It's probably time to make sbuild strictly a user tool and forget
about compatibility with buildd as it's too much of a headache.
Only a couple of us were using it with buildd anyhow.
