Re: Outreachy current
Hi Liubov,
thanks a lot for your comments. I have no idea whether there is some
point in making you an official co-mentor but if you see some advantage
for you in adding you officially that would be perfectly fine for me.

Regarding sbuild: It is used on Debian autobuilders and by several
developers. I personally never managed to set it up properly (obviously
Liubov was more successfully than me ;-) ). You can alternatively use
pbuilder (which also builds a package in a chroot environment. For your
specific purpose I also do not see any harm if you build your private
packages using debuild from devscripts (which is faster but might
include installing lots of Build-Depends on your local machine which you
do not want. In short: Try to follow Liubov's hints. In case you might
run into trouble there are alternatives to get you up and running
quickly.
