Migrate sbuild to the executor API
Now that we have a standard API for executors (#219 (closed)) we should migrate sbuild to use it.
The task should be roughly:
- Update the sbuild task definition to take an
environment_idinstead of a distribution name. - Initialize an executor and from the task, and download the environment.
- Determine the distribution name from the executor's environment, where required.
- Pass
--chroot-mode=unshare --chroot=/home/debian/h/chroot/system.tar.xzto sbuild. - Pass
-- unshare --tarball /home/debian/h/chroot/system.tar.xzto autopkgtest
On the IRC we've discussed if sbuild should use -chroot-mode=unshare or should use the autopkgtest backend for unshare. We've decided for using sbuild's -chroot-mode=unshare since the other way does not have much advantages, seems to need more packages installed inside the image, seems to be "suboptimal".
Previously version of the ticket mentioned:
- Pass --autopkgtest-virt-server={backend} and --autopkgtest-virt-server-opts={executor.autopkgtest_virt_args()} to sbuild.
- Use unshare in the autopgktest (it'll have to run after mmdebstrap).
