Hi Phil,

I already did this work prior to the squeeze release; it's on the
buildd-merge2 branch.  I can pick the needed patches off that branch
for you, and IIRC they were already guarded with --enable-compat on
that branch.

Which branch would you like them on?  buildd-0.60.1?

I can do this tomorrow if you like.

BTW, the master branch should be buildable again; I've fixed the
path issue you mentioned yesterday.  Both sbuild.conf and buildd.conf
are now pretty much self-documenting on the master branch now (they
both have manpages and generated config files containing all the
details).

Also, just FYI, I'm taking this week off from writing up my PhD thesis.
This means I will have several days I can dedicate to hacking.  If
there are any particular things of importance you would like working
on, I can dedicate some time to them during in the week.


Kind regards,
Roger
