[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#613903: mk-sbuild ...

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

I would like to see more integration of mk-sbuild to schroot/sbuild
system.  (Though the command name mk-sbuild sounds a bit inconsistent.)

When you do this, please consider to provide guide document with
intended typical usages and difference:

mk-sbuild
  aimed at package building with through-away FS
  user with root access
  recommend to use a local cache server like apt-cacher-ng
  (sbuild lacks pbuilder like package caching capability)

sbuild-createchroot
  buildd environment for user to login to build package as non-root.

It was confusing for me ....

If possible include key contents of 
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto,
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto.
in some doc directory should help mk-sbuild user.

Also, support of "cp -al / cow-shell" to create hardlinked copies and
copy-on-write environment with cowdancer package will be nice for both
mk-sbuild and schroot.  Then sbuild speeds up without special FS
requirements (vs. tar.xz).
