Looks interesting. Have you thought about improving existing ones. https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#debmake-doc or even its previous version. https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#maint-guide They already come with translations. Very verbose documentation doesn't help much since we are working on the moving target. Biggest shortcomings are: They don't use the current sbuild. They are not updated on time. I think gbp will stay here but the use of dgit will increase. For the chroot build system, there is not much reason not to use sbuild. After all, it share the same build system as the official buildd. It uses overlay mount and it is supported by kernel for good long time and we can use any filesystem. (NO LVM or Btrfs required.) (Except "I don't like Perl" like me. Well, I even had to work on uscan in Perl to be useful to others.) https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild I will change https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#debmake-doc to use sbuild after bullseye. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debmake-doc/-/tree/sbuild It is non-trivial to do piupitus and autopkgtest with pbuilder/cowbuilder. gbp can be used with sbuild now. apt-cache-ng has some issue for deb.debian.org in its chroot apt line but I think that can be adddressed ... https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986356 Regards, Osamu
