Schroot setup
|

-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Create the schroot:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo sbuild-createchroot --make-sbuild-tarball=/var/lib/sbuild/sid-amd64.tar.gz sid `mktemp -d` http://127.0.0.1:3142/snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20140601T000000Z
|

$ sbuild-shell source:sid-amd64-sbuild

|

Bugs:
|
||||
- when investigating which build dependencies are unused, virtual packages are not taken into account
|
||||
- maybe the fake equivs package can be built outside the schroot to avoid the additional dependencies for installing equivs
|
||||
- maybe equivs can be avoided altogether by finding a way to edit debian/control on the fly
