[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#414064: Check user is a member of the sbuild group

[Roger Leigh]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.53
Severity: normal

Please make sure that the user is a member of the sbuild group before
running a build.  This will make sure that any permissions problems
are avoided.

If the user is not a member of the sbuild group, exit with a diagnostic.


Regards,
Roger
