Building packages from launchpad respository
ben lemasurier
I'd like to build a package directly from the upstream (launchpad) repository. I've read the various packaging guides and I'm still not sure what the best practice is.
Essentially, how do I build a package from launchpad, handling dependencies and chrooted build environments just like the build bots do?

The software used to build Ubuntu source packages in a chroot is called sbuild . Some introduction to setting up and using sbuild is given in the SimpleSbuild wiki article.
There are many ways to download a source package and to set up an sbuild chroot, but the ubuntu-dev-tools package includes a couple of very useful scripts for accomplishing exactly what you want.
Assuming you are running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you can set up a chroot and build the bash package for example, with
sudo apt-get install sbuild ubuntu-dev-tools
mk-sbuild trusty
pull-lp-source -d bash trusty
sbuild -A -d trusty bash_4.3-7ubuntu1.5.dsc
where the filename of the source package given to the sbuild command will of course change with updates and new releases.
The mk-sbuild command need only be run one time, the minimal chroot is cached on your system and can be reused for building any number of source packages.
