Question related to Sbuild CLEAN_SOURCE
Dear all,
we are currently testing the integration of sbuild in ISAR[1] and
have a question related to the CLEAN_SOURCE behavior.
"When running sbuild from within an unpacked source tree, run the
'clean' target before generating the source package. This might require
some of the build dependencies necessary for running the 'clean' target
to be installed on the host machine. Only disable if you start from a
clean checkout and you know what you are doing."[2]
As noted in [2] we observe that we need dh-<helper name> in the host
environment to execute the dh clean -with <helper name>.
Our questions are:
- Is there are reason sbuild executes clean outside of the chroot?
- How does the buildd infrastructure deal with this behavior?
