It is an interesting idea to enhance Gitian in this way and it might help us to look at the differences that building with a Debian build VM would bring us (and to eliminate them). (although for this use case it might be easier to just patch python-vm-builder accordingly). I'd be interested in hearing about the progress you are making and the issues you are running into. > I think my effort to add gitian support other OS's for build VM's > would enable building the TBB using the target OS rather than > cross-compiling from ubuntu.

Yes + it makes Gitian more complex due to necessary patches for each OS you start to support. Setting the different environments up should be a one-time task and new descriptors need to be written anyway. Thus, that should not matter so much then. Georg
