Hi all,

I've been working on a small program to locally build packages in
containers. Sort of an alternative to `pbuilder`. Because I find
managing containers easier than managing base.tgz. In case anyone finds
it useful as well, full info in the README:

https://github.com/rockstorm101/whalebuilder

Of course, any feedback would also be appreciated. Even if it is that
I've wasted my time because there is already a better alternative?

Regards,

One of the 8 build-in-Docker tools listed on https://wiki.debian.org/SystemBuildTools#Package_build_tools is even
called whalebuilder. It's also in Debian since 2016.

Wow, thanks. How did I miss that page on the wiki LoL. And not even
original with the naming. I did indeed waste my time a little bit then.

Thanks again,
