NAME

sbuild-createchroot - create sbuild chroot

SYNOPSIS

sbuild-createchroot [-h|--help | -V|--version] [--verbose] [--arch=arch] [--foreign] [--resolve-deps | --no-resolve-deps] [--keep-debootstrap-dir] [--include=package1[,package2,[packagen]]] [--exclude=package1[,package2,[packagen]]] [--components=component1[,component2,[componentn]]] [--keyring=keyring-file] [--setup-only] SUITE TARGET-DIRECTORY DEBIAN-MIRROR-URI [SCRIPT]

buildd-create-chroot USER SUITE TARGET-DIRECTORY DEBIAN-MIRROR-URI

DESCRIPTION

sbuild-createchroot runs debootstrap(1) to create a chroot suitable for building packages with sbuild. Note that while debootstrap may be used directly, sbuild-createchroot performs additional setup tasks such as adding additional packages and configuring various files in the chroot. Invoking sbuild-createchroot is functionally equivalent to running debootstrap --variant=buildd --include=fakeroot,build-essential, then editing /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/hosts by hand.

The newly-created chroot is set up to work with schroot(1) by creating a chroot definition file under /etc/schroot/chroot.d. This should be edited to finish the chroot configuration after sbuild-createchroot has completed.

buildd-create-chroot, like sbuild-createchroot, runs debootstrap(1) to create a chroot for package building. However, this creates a chroot specifically for buildd(1) with an additional mandatory option to specify a user who will be granted sudo access inside the chroot. This script mainly differs in its additional customisation of /etc/apt/sources.list to use incoming.debian.org and security-master.debian.org. It also removes some packages from the newly-created chroot. Unless you are setting up an official Debian build daemon, sbuild-createchroot should be used instead. The extra functionality will be merged into sbuild-createchroot in the future.

OPTIONS

Actions

-h, --help
Display this manual.
-V, --version
Print version information.

General options

-v, --verbose
Print all messages.

Debootstrap options

Note that debootstrap(1) is the canonical reference for the meaning of the options; they are passed directly to debootstrap.
--arch=arch
Set the target architecture. This may be used if dpkg is not already installed. See also --foreign, below.
--foreign
Only perform the initial unpack phase of bootstrapping. This is required if the target and host architectures do not match. Note that debootstrap requires running by hand to complete installation; run the debootstrap /debootstrap/debootstrap installed in TARGET-DIRECTORY to complete the installation.
--resolve-deps
Automatically resolve missing dependencies. This is the default.
--no-resolve-deps
Do not automatically resolve missing dependencies.
--keep-debootstrap-dir
Don't delete the /debootstrap directory in TARGET-DIRECTORY after completing the installation.
--include=package1[,package2,[packagen]]
Comma separated list of packages which will be added to the list of packages to download and extract.
--exclude=package1[,package2,[packagen]]
Comma separated list of packages which will be removed from the list of packages to download and extract. Note that this can remove essential packages, so use with extreme care.
--components=component1[,component2,[componentn]]
Comma separated list of archive components to use (e.g. 'main', 'contrib', 'non-free'). Defaults to 'main'.
--keyring=keyring-file
Download signatures for retrieved Release files and check them against keyring-file. By default /etc/apt/trusted.gpg is used. Set to an empty string to disable signature checking.
SUITE
The distribution to bootstrap (e.g. 'sarge', 'etch', 'lenny', 'sid'). A complete list may be found in /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts.
TARGET-DIRECTORY
The directory to create the chroot in. The directory will be created if it does not already exist.
DEBIAN-MIRROR-URI
An http://, file:///, or ssh:/// URI pointing to a suitable archive mirror.
SCRIPT
debootstrap script to run. Not typically required.

sbuild-createchroot behaviour

--setup-only
Don't run debootstrap. Only perform the setup tasks on an already existing chroot. This is useful for converting an existing chroot for use with sbuild which has already been created using a tool such as debootstrap.

EXAMPLES

To create a sid (unstable) chroot in /srv/chroot/unstable using the ftp.uk.debian.org Debian mirror:

% sudo sbuild-createchroot sid /srv/chroot/unstable \
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian␍

HISTORY

sbuild-createchroot was previously known as buildd.chroot. buildd.chroot performed exactly the same tasks, but additionally created a number of directories in the chroot for use by sbuild. This is now done by schroot(1).
