# This script is executed within the container as root.  It assumes
# that source code with debian packaging files can be found at
# /source-ro and that resulting packages are written to /output after
# succesful build.  These directories are mounted as docker volumes to
# allow files to be exchanged between the host and the container.

# Install extra dependencies that were provided for the build (if any)
#   Note: dpkg can fail due to dependencies, ignore errors, and use
#   apt-get to install those afterwards
