Bug Description

To make a source package, the build deps for a package are needed.

I'd like to be able to build and upload packages in a schroot session.

This broadly needs:
bzr dailydeb to be invoked outside the schroot
the checkout and merges/nesting to be done
a custom function or parameters, to call basically 'schroot -u root -c
chroot -n session apt-get -y install [dependencies]'
Then the source-package build to be done by
schroot -c chroot -n session <whatever would have been called>

In this scenario the cwd is bind mounted into '.' in the chroot.

Hi,

So this would require a hook to install the build-dependencies though whatever
method, and then a configuration variable of how to invoke the build/sign/upload
commands so that you would be able to insert the prefix?

That sounds reasonable to me.

Thanks,

James

Right. Signing would be done outside usually though.

So, when we were working on LP I added a --no-build so that a driver script
can control the process and split it in to the parts needed to do this more easily.
I realise you probably have this already, but wanted to note it in to the bug, as
I don't think I'm going to get to this anytime soon.

Thanks,

James
