Package: sbuild Version: 0.80.0 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org
I know that multiple developers started using podman and buildah to manage containers where they build their Debian packages. With user namespace supports, this allows rootless building (like the "unshare" chroot mode)... you don't even need root to setup the "build chroot" since those are containers that you can download (or rebuild if you prefer). Thus it would be nice if sbuild had a "podman" chroot mode where it could use podman containers to build the packages. A "sbuild-create-oci" command would also be helpful to build the various container images, either from scratch (so that you don't have to trust images that you download) or on top of pre-existing OCI images (to save time and effort). That command should not be hard to build on top of buildah.
