Tool to build Debian packages not requiring root in containers ?



Hello everybody,

I just re-suscribed :)

At work I have access to a nice cluster with plenty of nodes rich of 128
cores and 512 Gb RAM.  The nodes do not run Debian but Singularity is
available for virtualisation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(software)).

And in Debian I am part of transitions involving more than 100 packages
every 6 months (r-api-bioc-*)…

I want to leverage our cluster to automate as much of the rebuilds as I
can, but could not find the right tool.  I tried to run sbuild in a
Singularity image and this failed.  However, I do not need the whole
power of engines like sbuild, as none of the packages involved require
root priviledges to build.

Do you have a suggestion for a tool can run in user mode in a container
image having access to local storage on the host, and that given a
Debian source control file will download the dependencies and build the
package ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
