If the dependencies can are satisfied with Debian, then the Ubuntu PPA repository should be an easy option. I think the marblewidget and libgit were the most problematic ones so this might be an easy option. As long as the package names (for the dependencies) don't change an old Ubuntu build should work with Debian... > Or maybe Miika has a simple script that allows me to automate making a > repo for Debian. > > Basically at this point I’m exploring the options to figure out what’s > reasonable. > This option might be safer since our build chroot contains a clean Debian install and all the dependencies should be based on that. And automating own repository should be quite straight forward. miika
