Bug#257167: ITP: debian-builder -- Rebuild Debian packages from Source
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2004-07-01 Severity: wishlist * Package name: debian-builder Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Steve Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/debian-builder * License : (GPL) Description : Rebuild Debian packages from Source This is a simple system which is designed to allow a system administrator to rebuild Debian packages from their source. . The package correctly installs any required dependencies for the rebuild, and cleans them up afterwards. . Whilst it is not expected to be used to gain a speed improvement offered by recompiling packages with arch specific optimizations it could be used for that with a sufficiently modifed compiler. Suggests: gcc-ssp, pentium-builder, athlon-builder. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux skx.vm.bytemark.co.uk 2.4.22-physmem-patch3-5um #1 Fri Feb 20 11:46:53 GMT 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C

This ITP seems to overlap with sbuild or apt-src and maybe you would rather join one of them (or take over). MfG Goswin

In that respect it's really focussed upon giving a source-based installation. This package isn't that complex, it will purely take a package named and rebuild it from source - allowing you to transform the package at the same time. Versioning is handled intelligently so that you can keep your rebuilt package even if a newer unstable releae comes out (or choose not to). Really the biggest difference is that apt-src is an ongoing package, allowing you to run 'apt-src update; apt-src upgrade' to rebuild your system. debian-builder by contrast allows you to rebuild a package and install it. That's all. Steve -

This does a similar job to sbuild agreed - however it is much much much simpler to setup, install, and use and that's part of the reason it was created. It doesn't really overlap with apt-src as much though, this is really a one-time builder much like sbuild. It won't keep a system up to date via source packages, and I don't wish it to. Steve --

Neither does it keep an apt repository, it simply takes a named package and rebuilds it. It does seem to overlap a little with apt-build, apart from handling the queuing. Steve --

By only reading the description it's unclear if it just builds a package or its dependencies also. i.e. is it just a variation of apt-get build-dep, apt-get source --compile pbuilder sbuild or something else which rebuilds many Debian packages recursively. regards, junichi

It will build a single package, by default. However it comes with a script which will call it to handle recursive builds properly. Steve --
