Pakket: debcraft (0.5.0)

Easy, fast and secure way to build Debian packages

Debcraft is a tool to build Debian packages as easily as possible. It uses Podman/Docker to automatically create a hermetic network-less build container based on the distribution defined in the source package debian/changelog with the dependencies defined in debian/control. Users don't need to manually create nor update root filesystems. If there is no source package, Debcraft will even automatically download it.

Thanks to efficient caching rebuilds are blazing fast, and additional logs make it easy to see what changed in the end result between each build.

The tool is fully written in Bash, so reasoning about how it works is easy. It does not even need to run on Debian as all builds happen inside containers.
