“For one I worked on the deployment of a single buildd/sbuild
combination over all of our buildds and I rebased it on the sbuild
in the archive several times already. All buildds basically look
the same on all architectures, with only few variations. The
chroots are now also created in a mostly predictable manner.“Then we finally got build autosigning after years of constant
poking. However the policy decision to allow it was made by the
ftp-masters anyway, for which I’m grateful, as
it eases the workload of the buildd maintainers, the Security Team
and the Release Team quite a bit.“On the release side there’s the integration
of volatile into the proper structures of Debian. But there
I’m guilty for choosing the bad name
squeeze-updates is, in comparision with
security’s squeeze/updates.
Let’s see if we can improve that for
wheezy.”
