[buildd-tools-devel] Pending new sbuild release 0.69

[Johannes Schauer]

Hi,

I'm about to release a new sbuild version. Please speak up if you:

 - want some more bugs from the bts to be fixed in this release
 - find bugs with sbuild in git master branch

I'll probably add the following paragraph to the NEWS file:

 | * Major changes in 0.68.0:
 |
 |   1) Decouple chroot from host in terms of filesystem access to allow
 |      chroot backends like qemu, ssh or lxc. Deprecate external command
 |      percentage escape %SBUILD_CHROOT_DIR in favour of %SBUILD_CHROOT_EXEC.
 |
 |   2) Experimental adt backend. Enable with --chroot-mode=adt. Choose the
 |      virtualization server with --adt-virt-server and add options with
 |      --adt-virt-server-opt. This allows sbuild to use qemu, ssh and lxc
 |      chroots.
 |
 |   3) Allow to build packages without specifying a version. Earlier it was
 |      possible to let sbuild "apt-get download" a dsc by specifying
 |      "package_version" as a command line argument. The version part is not
 |      necessary anymore, making this feature more useful as the user doesn't
 |      have to manually look up the current source package version anymore.
 |
 |   4) Disallow conflicting command line options, thus making command line
 |      switches position independent and remove the deprecated --arch-all-only
 |      option in the process.
 |
 |   5) The aspcud resolver criteria is not hardcoded anymore but can be chosen
 |      with --aspcud-criteria. The default criteria is -removed,-changed,-new.
 |      To minimize the number of packages from experimental, use:
 |      -count(solution,APT-Release:=/a=experimental/),-removed,-changed,-new
 |
 |   6) Apt doesn't download translations anymore.
 |
 |   7) Dummy archive is now signed with SHA-512
 |
 |   8) Cron script etc/sbuild-update-all allows one to periodically update all
 |      sbuild chroots.
 |
 |   9) Add another --*-failed-commands external command:
 |      --chroot-update-failed-commands

Let me know if you spot any problems!

Thanks!

cheers, josch
