 I'm thinking of something which could build uploaded source for as many

 'reprepro'-managed tree.

 The goal is to simplify package deployment to internal infrastructure for  
 evaluation before upload to debian. 

 Any hints for quick start please?

I have a custom system that does something like this, it's pretty
simple, and I'm working on automating even more of it.

What I do, is that I have a couple of sbuild chroots (LVM snapshot
thingies), with which I can build amd64 and i386 packages easily. I also
build packages for a certain derivative distro, not only for Debian, so
whenever I have a package to build, I run a script that does something
like this:

for arch in amd64 i386; do
  for dist in unstable squeeze lucid natty oneiric precise; do
sbuild --arch $arch -d $dist --apend-to-version=~$dist \
   -m MadHouse Project Autobuilder packa...@madhouse-project.org \
   $1
  done
done

Then I collect the results and let reprepro do the rest. There are a few
gotchas there, too, because in my case, I have an arch:all package that
should be the same on all platforms, so I manually use reprepro's
includedeb to add it everywhere. Same goes for the source.

I used to have a few virtual machines, which I booted up from the same
build script, ran a build in there, and shut them down, but turned out
that there were no users for my arm and kfreebsd-* packages, so I
stopped doing that.

One of these days, I'll turn this setup into a buildbot setup or
something similar. (Or even learn how buildd  wanna-build work, along
with dak, which I need to learn anyway)

Heh. I have pretty much that very same setup. Make you think that there
should be some very long howto on how to build and maintain that.

greetings, Mati
