I'm the current maintainer of sbuild. You found the wiki page and you saw that there already exist 10 different implementations of utilities that build Debian packages inside a docker container. You still decided to add an eleventh implementation so I guess my plea here will not amount to much but anyways here goes my sales pitch: If you want your code to be in Debian, please consider reviewing the patch attached to this bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867176 I'm not a docker user, so I cannot verify whether this is indeed doing the right thing but you are, so it should be easy for you to take it, test it and finalize it. I'm afraid contributing to an existing tool is not as sexy as supplying one that is 100% written by you but I can guarantee you that if you can clean up that patch, I will apply it to sbuild and your code will be in Debian proper. Maybe, hopefully we can make sbuilder and/or pbuilder work with docker instead of having eleven competing implementations doing the same thing? Thanks! cheers, josch
