Hi,

thanks for checking back.

that doesn’t help with one-shot bind-mounts that I need to set up when
using sbuild as part of a some infrastructure. But you are right: The
feature request should be to schroot to have a flag to specify
additional bind-mounts.

From the explanation it seems that this just adds a line to the
sources, but how would that help me (without a bind-mount) when the
repository is local?


Stepping back from concrete feature request, here is my usecase:

I have a local directory with many packages that I want to use in my
sbuild. The directory is temporary, so that rules out static settings
in /etc/schroot/chroot.d (and also, I’d like to to be able to do this
with a vanilla schroot configuration). You may assume that the
directory is usable as an apt source, i.e. a Packages file exists. How
can I make sbuild use this repository.

Greetings,
Joachim
