This package has been in limbo for way too long, and as nobody else has stepped forward so far, I guess it's better I pick it up before worse things happen (see #983087). But I'll have to arrange some things first, so this will not start immediately. If anybody else wishes to maintain schroot, please go ahead before May 1st or the bullseye release, whatever comes first. Putting this package under the maintainership of a yet-to-be-formed Debian greybeard team might be an idea to think of. Christoph signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi everyone, I update standards-version, dh compatibility version and solving several lintian warnings/info: https://salsa.debian.org/kalos-guest/schroot I don't have enough experience to adopt the package, but I can help. Happy hacking. -- Calogero Lo Leggio signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#900874: O: schroot -- Execute commands in a chroot environment
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I just orphaned the schroot package. I never really want to assume its maintainance but it just happened that at some point I was unhappy with unresolved bugs with pending patches and someone had to step in and I did. Now this package is still an important building block of our build infrastructure and it deserves a better maintainer than me (my last upload dates back to one year ago). The upstream maintainer (Roger Leigh) is still around and reachable although he's not doing much work on schroot AFAIK. The package is in Salsa in the debian group so all DD can easily contribute to its maintainance: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/schroot The package description is: schroot allows users to execute commands or interactive shells in different chroots. Any number of named chroots may be created, and access permissions given to each, including root access for normal users, on a per-user or per-group basis. Additionally, schroot can switch to a different user in the chroot, using PAM for authentication and authorisation. All operations are logged for security. . Several different types of chroot are supported, including normal directories in the filesystem, and also block devices. Sessions, persistent chroots created on the fly from files (tar with optional compression) and Btrfs and LVM snapshots are also supported. . schroot supports kernel personalities, allowing the programs run inside the chroot to have a different personality. For example, running 32-bit chroots on 64-bit systems, or even running binaries from alternative operating systems such as SVR4 or Xenix. . schroot also integrates with sbuild, to allow building packages with all supported chroot types, including session-managed chroot types such as Btrfs and LVM snapshots. . schroot shares most of its options with dchroot, but offers vastly more functionality.
