[Bug 1690162] Re: [MIR] sbuild

[Adam Conrad]

Of note, while this has never been in our supported seeds, we've
"supported" it fairly well for ages anyway.  Several Ubuntu developers
(including me and Colin) are also upstream sbuild committers, we
maintain it for our our buildd network, and many of us use it
extensively in our day-to-day workflows and make sure it keeps working
as a result.

Title:
  [MIR] sbuild

Status in sbuild package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Availability]

  * since the dawn of times

  [Rationale]

  * development seed in Ubuntu should be able to build packages for
  Ubuntu. schroot used to be pulled in as part of the now deprecated
  touch-sdk stack. And repromoting that raised concerns that one should
  be able to build packages in the standard build environment.

  [Security]

  * no known CVEs against sbuild itself https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/sbuild
  * written in perl =(

  [Quality assurance]

  * well maintained, used, and abused by most debian an ubuntu
  developers

  [Dependencies]

  * libsbuild-perl pulls in a few perl modules

  [Standards compliance]

  * Good, currently tracked just manpages erorrs at
  https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/buildd-tools-
  devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.html#sbuild and nothing else jumps out
  at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sbuild

  [Maintenance]

  * Low to none, we mostly use sbuild as is, with occasional patches /
  temporary forks.

  [Background information]

  * sbuild rules them all.
