[Bug 1690162] [NEW] [MIR] sbuild

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

[Availability]

* since the dawn of times

[Rationale]

* development seed in Ubuntu should be able to build packages for
Ubuntu. schroot used to be pulled in as part of the now deprecated
touch-sdk stack. And repromoting that raised concerns that one should be
able to build packages in the standard build environment.

[Security]

* no known CVEs against sbuild itself https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/sbuild
* written in perl =(

[Quality assurance]

* well maintained, used, and abused by most debian an ubuntu developers

[Dependencies]

* libsbuild-perl pulls in a few perl modules

[Standards compliance]

* Good, currently tracked just manpages erorrs at
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/buildd-tools-
devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.html#sbuild and nothing else jumps out at
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sbuild

[Maintenance]

* Low to none, we mostly use sbuild as is, with occasional patches /
temporary forks.

[Background information]

* sbuild rules them all.

** Affects: sbuild (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Triaged
