The concept is the same, but it is quite different: * integrate support for ccache and apt caching for separate dists (every dists uses a different directory, while pbuilder-dist uses a single /var/cache/pbuilder/apt that causes me some issues, iirc) * it does a lot more checks (e.g., it checks if the correct qemu package is installed if needed) * correct support for non x86 arches (for now only arm64, it uses qemu-debootstrap for it) * with the pbuilderrc I set up like eatmydata witch speed up all the steps, the apt depends resolver to gdebi, witch is quite faster than the default (I don't remember the default now), ccahe * other thing I don't remember now. Out of that script there is also some pbuilder hooks, for example. In short, it's write around my needs :) Yes, the concept is the same, but since it doesn't satisfied me I wrote my own pbuilder-dist-like script+pbuilderrc. Since I keep all my configurations in git and that script is quite good looking I though other can benefit of it. Maybe when it's better write, better support of all the cases I'll encounter I'll ask the maintainer of ubuntu-dev-tools (or devscripts, maybe) to include it or part of it.
