[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#183022: sbuild should always use them chroots from ~/build

Hi Bastian,

Since you filed this bug, we have made the checking for chroots a lot
stricter.  It now looks for chroot-$distribution in the current
directory, and fails if this does not exist, rather than silently
building on the host system.  The configuration file
(/etc/schroot.conf.local) has a $chroot_only option, which defaults to
1 (chroots only).

Additionally, if you use sbuild in conjunction with schroot, no
symlinks are used, and it uses the chroots provided by schroot, so you
can freely build from any location.

I'm not adverse to requiring the symlinks in ~/build, but this would
potentially break a lot of existing setups, and with the above
improvements, it may no longer be necessary.

What you you think?


Thanks,
Roger
