Can you give me an example of a package you want to build and what is the starting point, and I can tell you what command to issue to https://salsa.debian.org/otto/debcraft to achieve it? It supports running Podman in user mode (=no root permissions needed), it loop-mounts a local directory (local storage), creates clean build containers on the fly similar to sbuild but is much easier and faster to use. Example of how to build one of your packages with just pointing it at the source git repo: $ debcraft build https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/altree.git Building container 'debcraft-debian-sid' in '/tmp/tmp.brCZRhn2lL/debcraft-container' for downloader use mkdir: created directory '/tmp/tmp.brCZRhn2lL/debcraft-container' STEP 1/10: FROM debian:sid ... $ ls -1 debcraft-build-altree-1715137513.a8c999a+master altree_1.3.2-2_amd64.build altree_1.3.2-2_amd64.buildinfo altree_1.3.2-2_amd64.changes altree_1.3.2-2_amd64.deb altree-dbgsym_1.3.2-2_amd64.deb altree-examples_1.3.2-2_all.deb control.log filelist.log lintian.log First build is a bit slow as it needs to download all the dependencies and create a container, but the second run of 'debcraft build' inside the source directory will be very fast as all container cache is reused.
