[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#656449: sbuild: When not in buildd mode, create log files in the cwd rather than symlinking

[Roger Leigh]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.63.0-1
Severity: normal

sbuild currently creates all build logs in ~/logs, and then creates
symlinks such as current and $pkg_$ver.build in the current working
directory.  ~/logs is really a buildd-specific feature, and normal
users generally want the log to accompany the build.

Suggestion: only create the file in ~/logs and symlinks in buildd
mode, otherwise just create the log files directly.


Regards,
Roger
