You can do everything that mk-sbuild does for you manually, but when you're setting up many different sbuild chroots, it makes things much easier. [And it makes my response much simpler.] The things that mk-sbuild installs are just sbuild, schroot, and debootstrap, and possibly lvm2 if you're using lvm chroots; I actually didn't notice that it even did that because I have all of them installed. [And really, mk-sbuild *is* a sysadmin tool designed to automate sysadmin tasks.] -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com "I always tend to assume there's an infinite amount of money out there."
