[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#567419: generic hook framework

[martin f krafft]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.59.0-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be awesome if sbuild had a generic hook framework (e.g.
run-parts directories, passing all kinds of information to the
scripts in the environment) which would allow me to plug scripts in
at various stages.

  - After entering the chroot
  - After fetching the sources
  - After installing the build-deps
  - After unpacking the source
  - After the build has failed
  - After the build has completed successfully

Non-zero returns from those hooks could drop the user into a $SHELL
if stdin is connected to a tty, or otherwise just tear down the
chroot.

Stderr from those hooks should probably go into the sbuild log.
