Hi Marc, * Marc Haber <mh+debian-packa...@zugschlus.de> [2025-02-16 20:54]:
Next best thing would be having a document that tells a user to set up the things in a way that it works. It's an extremely common setup and many people are wasting their time in inventing their own semi-working setup. I would have loved to spend half of this sunday working on adduser instead of trying to grok adduser and autopkgtest.
I actually recommend to not do any setup and let the tools do it. This works out of the box on trixie:
sbuild --chroot-mode=testing --dist=unstable --run-piuparts --run-autopkgtest helloDepending on the network connection downloading the packages can be slow and apt-cacher-ng helps a lot. Having sbuild auotmatically pass it to the tools would be great but I don't have it high on my TODO list.
Related, there is also angoing work to improve autopkgtest: https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/merge_requests/515 Cheers Jochen
