I'll play with https://aptly.info to create a repository that backports all packages and dependencies required to build and run skopeo and buildah. I think I should be able to publish that on my https://people.debian.org/~siretart/ homepage.

That would be helpful!

Done.

I've rebuild and backported the full stack in clean Debian/buster chroots, so I'd expect the packages to work on the upcoming Debian 10 release, and existing Debian "testing" and "unstable" laptops. To enable the repository, do these steps as root:

$ curl https://people.debian.org/~siretart/rtbp/siretart-archive-key.asc | apt-key add -

$ cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rtbp.list <<EOF

deb https://people.debian.org/~siretart/rtbp buster-backports main

deb-src https://people.debian.org/~siretart/rtbp buster-backports main

EOF

$ apt update && apt install buildah skopeo

Before using skopeo, please mind the note in https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-containers-buildah/blob/d47ce7267b370614095d4a5a621d5eba473eb23d/debian/README.Debian

User Namespaces

===============

Buildah requires a Linux Kernel with userspaces enabled. Debian

Kernels have that functionaly, but the local system administrator

needs to enable it manually, with a command like this:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

Feedback, and assistance, preferably in form of PRs against the salsa packaging branches would be most appreciated.
