Hi Jonas, Thanks for the reply and for pointing out other tools. Somehow i missed most of them while searching for a container based builder. I ran only into a debocker tool, which i did not understood well, initially. So at the moment i can only superficially comment after a quick look at other projects (see below). Of course other tools are more mature and probably more relevant at some corner cases of package building, than debdocker currently is (i.e. package signing or specific build arguments provided, ...).

I could not see, if it supports building of a project out of its directory (without dsc file).

The debspawn seems even more similar regarding features, however it uses different kind of containers. If i compare 'debspawn login' and 'debdocker enter' commands, debdocker allows for all three container types (base, devel, and package_devel) to be entered (logged-in) on three levels: as root, as user or as user with unlimited sudo permissions, which can be used for most generic tasks in an isolated system of choice. Debdocker currently does not provide command for running arbitrary commands (todo). Also signing of packages need to be done out of the container at the moment. > > - Jonas > regards, Samo
