Hi Since we're starting to experiment full OBS build of a debian derivative distro, we detected some faults in the chroot creation related sometimes to scripting and post script runs as order of package install too. So, for our personal test, we decided to replace the internal parts related to dpkg in init_buildsystem ( obs-build ), for a single one common solution to debian and ubuntu, which is debootstrap. First difficulty i found was the lack of debian tools in RPM distros, rendering workers unnefective, so i made a proper rpm for debootstrap, debhelper, autotools-dev and apt ( which i called apt-debian ) to both Fedora and openSUSE. openSUSE need less tools than Fedora, since have package deb which contains dpkg + debhelper. Having this, i was able to replace many parts of init_buildsystem script for two steps: - Generate a proper debian repos locally using apt-ftparchive - Execute debootstrap First step uses an script, that now is limited to test i386 and armhf for our purposes Second uses the buildd option of debootsrap, looking in local already downloaded packages. We already are using it as default in our internal OBS and so far so good, the process shown some progress. It's working in both deb and rpm workers I'm open to opinions, ideas of how far we can go, improve the script and if maybe we can adapt this to upstream in future.
