Bug#822722: RFS: tldp/0.7.7 [ITP #822181]
Hi,

DebOMatic isn't the tool used by buildds systems, but sbuild is
(with various different resolvers)
>If so, then I'll stop building with pbuilder and gbp buildpackage.
I use them both :)
>I installed and started learning 'sbuild'. When I run 'sbuild

probably DebOMatic sets some more environment variables, to make the build
"cleaner"
e.g. disable some more ports and internet connections
export something like $HOME or other variables.
so it isn't unusual to get more failures on DOM and not have them on buildd.d.o
but I guess it is nice to fix if you can
feel free to setup a local DOM instance, or to look at the code
https://github.com/debomatic/instances

see above :)
>How do I discover the environment in which the tests are failing or >should I simply create another release with my minor changes and

you can ask me or directly ask for an account on DOM and upload changes files
by yourself
(you need to send your ssh public key and probably your gpg public key with email address)
and to learn how to dput/dupload on debomatic!
>I will do so. I appreciate all of your guidance, help and advice,

thanks to you!
>>thanks for your contribution to Debian!

The most difficult part in Debian is always the start :)
and after it is really easy ;)
(if the first step was checked enough for goodness)
cheers!
