[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#720628: Ability to spawn a shell on build failure

[martin f krafft]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.64.0-1
Severity: wishlist

To be able to debug issues with individual builds, it would be cool
if sbuild could optionally spawn a shell, or provide a on-failure
hook, so that I could investigate the situation interactively.

Thanks,
