This is exactly what is happening. ubuntutools/builder.py in Sbuild().build() uses --dist; that's the wrong flag, and should most likely be --chroot, but changing this is sure to break somebody's setup, so I'm relucanct to do it. Not to mention that I don't use sbuild. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.

Bug#894504: backportpackage: sbuild creates .changes for release rather than release-backports
Package: ubuntu-dev-tools Version: 0.162 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Using backportpackage with the -b and --builder=sbuild options produces a .changes file for release rather than release-backports. e.g. backportpackage -b -w build --builder=sbuild --destination=stretch --suffix=~bpo9+1 dh-golang cat build/buildresult/dh-golang_1.34~debian9.0.1~bpo9+1_amd64.changes | grep Distribution Distribution: stretch This appears to be different to the behaviour with --builder=pbuilder. I think pbuilder uses the release specified in debian/changelog to produce the .changes file, whereas sbuild overrides this with the option passed to it in --dist. If I try instead to run: backportpackage -b -w build --builder=sbuild --destination=stretch-backports --suffix=~bpo9+1 dh-golang Then I get the message: dpkg-source: info: extracting dh-golang in dh-golang-stretch-backports dpkg-source: info: unpacking dh-golang_1.34.tar.xz backportpackage: Error: Unknown release codename stretch-backports One possible solution would be to append -backports to the release passed to sbuild via --dist. The user would then need to have a chroot with a name like $release-backports-$arch-sbuild, $release-backports-sbuild, $release-backports-$arch or $release-backports. Alternatively the chroot name could be specified to sbuild separately with the --chroot option. Or, backportpackage could be changed to accept release-backports as a destination. Thanks.
