Thanks. I knew about the former three but I have never heard about quinn-diff, I will look into it. > > Or are there better alternatives for building > > Debian packages locally in an automated manner? > > debusine perhaps. I have recently heard about debusine and was quite excited as I hoped this would get Debian something similar as openSUSE's OBS service. But when I took a look at it last week, the user interface seemed rather confusing and wouldn't really know where to start. In OBS, I can just create a new project, add the architectures needed and let the build system do the rest. For example, I bootstrapped openSUSE for LoongArch with the help of OBS and Debian's existing loong64 port. See: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:LoongArch:Factory Basically, I manually built the initial set of RPM packages on Debian for loongarch64 and then injected them into OBS which would then start building the remaining packages with the help of QEMU.
