[Pkg-javascript-devel] Using clean build scripts from pkg-ruby-extras repo

[Paolo Greppi]

Hi this is opinionated but very useful. I have a couple of newbie questions.

Did you try these scripts on Debian stable as host ?

Why do we need two virtualization systems (schroot for sbuild & lxc for
autopkgtest) ?

Would it be possible to use only one (for example lxc) ?
