[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#657094: sbuild: Please set job-specific schroot session name

[Roger Leigh]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.62.6-1
Severity: normal

Currently, we default to using the session ID supplied by schroot
(typically a UUID or pid/timestamp).  It would be more useful and
friendly to set it to something specific to the job being run.
This can be done using the -n option to set the session name at
creation time.  For builds, it would need to include the random
part also used in the build path to permit concurrent builds.

Regards,
Roger
