    I looked at the source code of sbuild to see if I could provide a
    patch for it but unfortunately I don' t work with perl and I lack the
    time to learn it for this right now.

    So this is a feature request to make "extra-package" accept relative
    paths as input.

    FWIW this is the input that didn't work: "--extra-package=../build-area/"

    I tried this both with directories as well with plain *.deb files relative to the path where I run sbuild and it worked just fine.

    In what way are you calling sbuild that makes this not work?

    Thanks!

    cheers, josch

    I've tested --extra-package=../../some_other_dir and it works with the
    latest version in testing. I also reported --extra-repository-key didn't
    work with relative paths, but I just tested and it seems to be working.
    Maybe both were implemented but the bug not closed (?).

    Cheers,
    Charles
