Now if you want to try something really hard, but extremely useful... Smile

I believe that the future of releases is in nightly builds. Those are to be performed on Ubuntu 64, using chroot environment where required.

Maybe you can try if this could work?

Unfortunately I don't have any Ubuntu distro available. I prefer Ubuntu to Fedora, but I was not given the choice... So during my spare time I used the tool made for Fedora, i.e. RPM-based distribution.

1. I've never been into deb-based package building (using buildpkg, right? I'm not even sure of the tool Rolling Eyes

)

2. But you're right about the chroot. It's a really clean and safe way to do the job. I will think about it in a generic way, that would prepare the environment (i.e. svn export, build environment configuration, patch sources if wanted, dynamic Makefile generation). When the chroot environment would be ready, it may be suitable for RPM and DEB package construction. That may be the first stone to the nightly build system. If I have more time (really too much work right now), I'll try to think about that.
