Source: sbuild Severity: wishlist I always want to do an sbuild build of a package in a clean chroot before uploading. These days it is best practice to do sourceful uploads, so having a way to get a foo_version_source.changes at the end of the build instead of (or as well as) a foo_version_arch.changes would be very handy.
Currently I do sbuild -s -A to make sure that the source and binary I upload match. Otherwise it is too easy to make a change in the unpackaged packages, forget dpkg-buildpackage -S, and then sbuild-clean-chroot test the previous .dsc Using -A alone you are likely to upload a binary with the corresponding source missing and it getting rejected. So having one run that would test the clean build, and produce the sourceful-upload changes file that was defintely for the corresponding source, would be something I'd use as standard workflow. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
