Package: sbuild

Severity: wishlist

Hi,

to verify a package build for reproducible builds [1], it is necessary
to carry it out in an environment with the right package versions. This
information is stored in .buildinfo files.

[1] https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds

I wrote a thin wrapper for sbuild which figures out the right timestamp
from snapshot.debian.org that contains the right package versions and
then installs those in sbuild using its hook functionality.

A more detailed explanation can be found in this email:

https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20141229/000613.html

The functionality depends on the resolution of bug #774359, thus adding
it as a blocker for this bug.

You can find the code implementing this functionality attached or in the
pu/reproducible branch in this repository:

Thanks!

cheers, josch
