[Buildd-tools-devel] wanna-build/buildd packaging

Hi folks,

A few weeks ago, I merged the entirety of the upstream
http://svn.cyberhqz.com/svn/wanna-build onto
ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/buildd-tools/trunk/buildd

I have then made these changes:

- files already in trunk/sbuild have been removed
- I generated a complete ChangeLog from the SVN history and made it
  presentable.

I would like to fix up the packaging so that it works correctly with
our sbuild packaging and is FHS compliant.  I would also like to make
the defaults sane so that as much of the setup is automated as
possible.  It also needs updating to the latest Standards-Version and
a good clean up.

If anyone is interested in adding the extra polish to make it
releasable, feel free to hack on it.

Longer term, I'd like to
- put code duplicated in sbuild into Sbuild.pm or one of the
  sub-modules.
- modularise more of sbuild so it is usable directly inside buildd
- make it work with schroot (depends on the items above due to direct
  fiddling with the chroot which is sbuild's responsibility in
  Sbuild/Chroot.pm)
- add alternate wanna-build backends so it can use PostgreSQL.


Regards,
Roger
