[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#551311: Bug#551311: Please provide debuild like functionality for sbuild

[Andres Mejia]

tags 551311 patch
thanks

Here's a preliminary patch to provide an sbulid-debuild script that provides 
debuild like functionality for sbuild. I thought it may be better to seperate 
this functionality from a run of sbuild. Also, instead of actual patches, I've 
supplied the script, man page, and an example configuration file instead.

The functionality that this script provides is best explained through the man 
page I've attached. To summarize, this script gives similar functionality as 
debuild. You can run it from a debianized package source directory to build a 
package using sbuild. The resulting package's .changes file is then processed 
through lintian. sbuild-debuild also allows for supplying debianized source 
package directories directly and for supply a .dsc file. Also, sbuild-debuild 
allows for running external commands in a similar fashion as you would run 
hooks.

There's one thing left to do that I think is crucial. That is figuring out how 
to log everything that's output from this script to a log file. Perhaps it's 
best to run sbuild with the --nolog option to not interfere with a potential 
logging operation from sbuild-debuild. I would like log files to be written to 
"package_version_arch.build"
