Re: Tool to build Debian packages not requiring root in containers ?

[Timo Röhling]

Hi Charles,

* Charles Plessy <ple...@debian.org> [2024-05-08 07:27]:

I want to leverage our cluster to automate as much of the rebuilds as I

can, but could not find the right tool.  I tried to run sbuild in a
Singularity image and this failed.  However, I do not need the whole
power of engines like sbuild, as none of the packages involved require
root priviledges to build.

Have you tried the unshare backend for sbuild? It uses Linux namespaces instead of full-blown root privileges, and works really great for my regular packaging work. I have not tried running it inside a virtualization container, though.

Cheers
Timo
