Regards, Roger Well, with this, I now think it's better to extend sbuild and the library code instead of creating a seperate program. I suppose this would have the benefit of providing more features for sbuild (as noted by comment 4), and would allow taking advantage of getting everything logged by sbuild directly (comment 3). With this I could also avoid having to mimic every option of debuild (comment 1), use dpkg-source directly (comment 2), and supply a directory to dpkg- source directly (comment 5). -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#551311: [buildd-tools-devel] Bug#551311: Please provide debuild like functionality for sbuild
tags 551311 patch thanks Here's a preliminary patch to provide an sbulid-debuild script that provides debuild like functionality for sbuild. I thought it may be better to seperate this functionality from a run of sbuild. Also, instead of actual patches, I've supplied the script, man page, and an example configuration file instead. The functionality that this script provides is best explained through the man page I've attached. To summarize, this script gives similar functionality as debuild. You can run it from a debianized package source directory to build a package using sbuild. The resulting package's .changes file is then processed through lintian. sbuild-debuild also allows for supplying debianized source package directories directly and for supply a .dsc file. Also, sbuild-debuild allows for running external commands in a similar fashion as you would run hooks. There's one thing left to do that I think is crucial. That is figuring out how to log everything that's output from this script to a log file. Perhaps it's best to run sbuild with the --nolog option to not interfere with a potential logging operation from sbuild-debuild. I would like log files to be written to package_version_arch.build On Saturday 17 October 2009 01:52:10 Andres Mejia wrote: Package: sbuild Version: 0.59.1~rc1 Severity: wishlist It would be great if it were possible to build packages in a similar fashion as you would via debuild, whether it be via sbuild or some new script, perhaps one named sdebuild.
