Generally when I hack on packages I build using git-buildpackage, directly invoking debuild or using ./debian/rules. When I am happy, I do a final build using pbuilder (and experimenting with sbuild). Here I would like to run as many sanity checks (like piuparts, lintian - and autopkgtest) as possible. This is the build I eventually upload. I realize it is possible to use debuild hooks; I can also write my own wrapper for sbuild that would take care of all of this. It'd be nice if there was something more discoverable. Cheers, Jelmer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
