pbuilderrc

Specifies the default location for the archived chroot image to be created and used. This is overridden with the option R --basetgz .

The default place which the chroot is constructed. pbuilder will use the directory R $BUILDPLACE$$ . which means, that it will use the directory and the PID to determine the directory to use. This should obtain an unique directory for concurrent runs of pbuilder in one machine. This is not guaranteed to happen on network shared drives, so be aware of this fact when playing with this option on NFS shared beowulf clusters. Change it to something like /var/cache/pbuilder/build/$HOSTNAME/ when doing such a thing. pbuilder clean cleans up this directory.

Specify the default directory which the build result will be copied over to after the building. Unlike --buildresult command-line option. The path is not canonicalized, so you should specify a full-path, not a relative path.

Specify the mirror site which contains the main Debian distribution. Note that you cannot really use file:/ kind of URL, because the location needs to be accessible from within the chroot.

The lines which is added to the sources.list, delimited with | Like deb http://local/mirror stable main|deb file:/usr/local/mirror ./ The deb lines here are the ones that will appear at the top of the sources.list inside the chroot. Be sure to follow the syntax rules of R sources.list (5). These lines appear at the beginning of the constructed sources file, so this is the place to list your local mirror sites; apt will then use them in preference to the ones listed in MIRRORSITE. To make changes on mirror site effective on update --override-config needs to be specified.

Specify the default distribution to use. This option only affects when doing pbuilder create or when --override-config is specified for pbuilder update option.

Specify the default distribution components to use. This option only affects when doing pbuilder create or when --override-config is specified for pbuilder update option.

Defines the proxy for http connection.

Specify the location that the packages downloaded by apt should be cached. Setting this value to "" will cause caching to be turned off.

Specify using hard links in apt cache handling. Changing this to no will disable hard linking and will copy the files. It is advised to set this to no if you are using user-mode-linux.

Specifies the default location for the user hooks directory. This is overridden with the option R --hookdir . If this is specified, hooks are searched for in the chroot, when running R pbuilder . If it is not defined, or is an empty string, hooks are not executed. For details, see pbuilder.1

The options given here will be passed on to R dpkg-buildpackage . This can be useful e.g. for binary-only builds. The command-line option --debbuildopts overrides any contents specified here. The default value is to build source and binary package.

When this value is set, pbuilder will mount these directories using bind-mount. Example: BINDMOUNTS=/home /mnt/test Do not bind-mount /

When this option is set to yes pdebuild-internal implementation of pdebuild is used.

When this option is set to --variant=buildd pbuilder will invoke debootstrap with "--variant=buildd" option, which results in debootstrap creating a minimal chroot for buildd instead of trying to create a minimal installation chroot.

Use this option to switch the implementation of debootstrap. Known implementations of debootstrap are cdebootstrap and debootstrap

Specifies extra packages which the system should install in the chroot on R pbuilder create . This is a space-delimited list. Also this is installed on pbuilder build

Uses this variable as R DEBIAN_BUILDARCH . This trick can be used for other environmental variables as well.

Specify yes when it is desired to mount /proc interface. It is usually a good idea, since there are many software which fail miserably when there is no /proc being mounted.

Specify yes when it is desired to mount /dev/pts interface. It is usually a good idea, since there are many software which fail miserably when there is no /dev/pts being mounted.

Specify the packages to be removed on creation of base.tgz Leaving lilo in the chroot is like keeping a timebomb...

If this was specified, dpkg-buildpackage command will be passed with the necessary sponsorship option -mMaintainer Name <Mail@Address> on building. Overridden with --debemail command-line option. The default configuration for pbuilder is empty for this value.

This option is used on invocation of fakeroot for dpkg-buildpackage in pdebuild

This option is used on invocation of pbuilder build in pdebuild

This option is used by various parts of pbuilder to satisfy (i.e. install) the build-dependencies of a package. There are two alternate implementations, the "experimental" implementation, "pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental", which might be useful to pull packages from experimental or from repositories with a low APT Pin Priority, and the "aptitude" implementation, which will resolve build-dependencies and build-conflicts with aptitude which helps dealing with complex cases but does not support unsigned APT repositories

The uid to be used inside chroot. It should ideally not collide with user-id outside the chroot, to avoid user inside chroot having access to processes owned by the user id outside the chroot.

The user name of the user the build will run as. Specifying this will enable the use of fakeroot inside pbuilder. Note that this will require fakeroot to be installed within the chroot, and fakeroot will automatically be installed. And -rfakeroot will be added to DEBBUILDOPTS

Configures where the apt configuration files are copied from. By default, this value is empty, allowing the usual configuration options to take effect. Setting this variable overrides other options.

Sets timeout time. Build will be stoped with SIGTERM after the set time.

Sets interactiveness of pbuilder run. Setting this value to blank will cause the pbuilder run to be interactive. Change this value when noninteractive upgrades do not work.

Whether to use DEVFS or not.

Set the UID and GID of the files built as result. They probably need to be set to numeric UID values, so that it works the same inside the chroot and outside the chroot. If sudo is used, the values specified by sudo is used. They are R SUDO_UID , and R SUDO_GID . The default value is 0

When this value is set to yes, pdebuild will invoke debsign command after building.

The extension of filename used in pkgname-logfile option.

Always run with --pkgname-logfile option, and create a logfile named after the package name.

Specify what pbuilder implementation to use for pdebuild. The currently possible values are pbuilder and cowbuilder
