[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#355034: please don't hardcore ~/build

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.36
Severity: wishlist

sbuilt itself works fine when my build dir with the chroot-<suite>
symlink is in ~/debian/build rather than ~/build.  However, it seems
that all the helper programs, such as gochroot and updatechroot,
hardcode ~/build.  Given that you have to be in the directory with the
symlink anyway, there no need to hardcode ~/build.
