Package: debspawn
Version: 0.4.0-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

thanks for providing debspawn. I really like this tool because it
doesn't have a gazillion of bells and whistles that one needs to be
aware of. It just works and does basic work.

However, a bit more docs would really help. I wanted to move the build
directory from /var/tmp (which happened to be space restricted) to /srv
on one machine, and after figuring out that one can set the TempDir
variable to achieve that. However, I also need to guess the actual
format of the /etc/debspawn/global.json file which happens to be, for
example:

{
    "TempDir": "/srv/debspawn"
}

It would be great if the package would ship a man page explaining the
configuration or at least ship a skeleton config file either in the
correct place, /etc/debspawn/globaljson or in the appropriate
/usr/share/doc directory.

Greetings
Marc
