package autobuilder daemon

## NAME

buildd - package autobuilder daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**buildd**

## VERSION

This man page documents the packaged version of buildd.  This version is maintained by the **buildd-tools** project developers on Alioth (`https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/`).

## DESCRIPTION

**buildd** is a daemon used to automatically build Debian packages from source.  wanna-build is used to find and claim packages for building, while sbuild is used to build the packages.  The helper programs buildd-mail, buildd-uploader and buildd-watcher are used to perform various housekeeping tasks to keep the system running.

## FILES
