Package: devscripts Version: 2.20.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
this bug report is a bit premature, as currently debrebuild does not setup the chroot debrebuild (or rather the sbuild command generated by debrebuild), but anyway, let's file a bug to track this problem and improve upon: I just tried to rebuild bash 5.0.6 for amd64, which was built on February 25th 2020, using a sid schroot created today. This resulted in many downgrades by sbuild (as invoked by debrebuild) which in this case (by luck) worked nicely, but downgrading packages is neither supported by design nor testing, thus should be avoided. Thus it would be fantastic if debrebuild would start with a buster schroot and upgrade that to the packages needed to build bash 5.0.6 for amd64. (With the logic being: this is a rebuild for a package from unstable built in February 2020, thus the build base should be the stable release at that time.) Currently this is nothing debrebuild can do, but for a future standalone rebuilder tool this will be a very nice feature. -- cheers, Holger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org PGP fingerprint: B8BF 5413 7B09 D35C F026 FE9D 091A B856 069A AA1C Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money...
