Using docker for Debian packaging work ?

Hi.

I've been investigating the use of Docker containers on Debian
(resulting in the creation of a few wiki pages [0]), and intend to use
them more for Debian related tasks. Btw, thanks a lot for the packaging
of docker and other guides already available around (I tried to collect
what I spotted in the Wiki).

I'm wondering if there are some bits of docs you would like to share if
you're using docker regularly for Debian maintenance.

I'm curious if anyone investigated the use of docker for git-pbuilder,
fonr instance. Not that I'm sure there would be benefits compared to
other current backends of git-pbuilder. I'm pretty sure that some may
find a limitation in that Docker only supports building for amd64 over
an amd64 system, currently.

May I suggest to add more links / pages, starting from
https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithDocker ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

I'd be interested in a few things - a Debian index which I can trust (images) - I'm keen

to help add OpenPGP to Docker upstream. I'd also love it if dbuilder (or whatever)

could tag layers with build-deps installed (tagging something like foobar:1.2.3-1),

so that building the package wouldn't have to install the b-d's each time - and since

they're defined in terms of the Debian layer in the Dockerfile, we can keep each

image super small.

Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone poked more on using docker with
*-buildpackage flavors?

in my case I would not be as much interested in the efficient layering
of the pre-deployed build images rather a straightforward use of
base system docker images similarly to how pbuilder
(tarballs)/cowbuilder (cow chroots) do, just also with efficient
apt-caching (builtin or via e.g. approx) + monitoring setup of the
firewall which would log/alarm me if package attempts to get any
connection outside of allowed hosts (APT servers) and monitoring of file
system changes outside of the /tmp (after all build-depends got
installed).

Would be thankful to hear any ideas/pointers to existing setups.

Cheers!

You seem to handle things better than the scripts provided in
Docker. Maybe you should contribute your modifications?
