Hi all, Mattia, please see below for a pbuilder-specific question. Quoting James Clarke (2017-01-08 12:14:07) > This turns out to be true.

I'm not very familiar with pbuilder. Looking at the man page it seems that pbuilder itself exclusively accepts a source package .dsc and for building a source directory one needs the pdebuild wrapper? If that is the case, then it seems sensible for sbuild to do the same as pdebuild if given a source directory only. Both tools should behave the same way when executed in the same context, I think. Are there any reasons against this plan? (targeting Buster) Thanks! cheers, josch
