Quoting James Clarke (2017-05-22 16:25:38) > But I notice that for the sbuild path, schroot is completely missing, Maybe I should also point out that schroot is just the *default* sbuild chroot backend. It also supports the "sudo" mode (which essentially just uses "sudo chroot") and the autopkgtest mode which allows sbuild to build packages in any environment that autopkgtest provides like lxc, lxd, qemu, ssh... And then there is also a patch for adding a backend using Linux user namespaces which is a lightweight replacement of lxc-usernsexec and unshare that allows to easily do unprivileged package builds without the need of an suid binary like schroot: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/buildd-tools/sbuild.git/commit/?h=user/josch/uchroot&id=8c40e83a63195983dadad7616b7b916e084cf7e4 And then there is also the effort to add this as a backend to autopkgtest: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=844459 Work on all of this stalled a bit because of lack of time. I don't want to drag this thread further into this direction, so if you are interested in any of this, just get in touch with me off-list. Thanks! cheers, josch
