2 =============
3
4 The general idea of mbuild is that it's called for new *_source.changes files
5 that accompany source-only uploads (dpkg-buildpackage -S). Based on the target
6 suite, it then figures out which architectures reprepro wants and which sbuild
7 provides (this is to be implemented yet) and fires off sbuild for each.
8
9 When the builds have finished, the source package is handed over to reprepro,
10 and then each of the binary changes files in turn.
11
12 Finally, a bundle is built with the binary packages from one arch, and the
13 source package, with changes files merged. The idea is that this bundle can
14 now be downloaded, inspected, tested, and finally, when it's ready for upload,
15 the changes file signed and uploaded.
16
17 Right now, no authentication is done on the signature on the *_source.changes
18 file and the *.dsc file, but that could be hacked in with dscverify.
19
20 All this is very hackish and beta; if you want to hack along:
