.TH PBUILDER\-DIST 1 "January 10, 2008" "ubuntu-dev-tools"
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
pbuilder\-dist, cowbuilder\-dist \- multi-distribution pbuilder/cowbuilder wrapper
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBpbuilder\-dist\fP \fIdistribution\fR [\fBi386\fP|\fBamd64\fP] [\fBmainonly\fP]
|
|
\fIoperation\fR [\fI...\fR]
|
|
|
|
\fBcowbuilder\-dist\fP \fIdistribution\fR [\fBi386\fP|\fBamd64\fP] [\fBmainonly\fP]
|
|
\fIoperation\fR [\fI...\fR]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBpbuilder\-dist\fP is a wrapper that makes it easy to use pbuilder with many different
|
|
versions of Ubuntu and/or Debian.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is common to symlink this script in order to give it many names in the form of
|
|
\fBpbuilder\-\fIdistribution\fP\fR (\fBpbuilder\-\fIdistribution\fR\-\fIarchitecture\fP\fR on amd64
|
|
systems), like for example \fBpbuilder\-feisty\fP, \fBpbuilder\-sid\fP, \fBpbuilder\-gutsy\-i386\fP, etc.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The same applies to \fBcowbuilder\-dist\fP, which uses cowbuilder. The main
|
|
difference between both is that pbuilder compresses the created chroot as a
|
|
a tarball, thus using less disc space but needing to uncompress (and possibly
|
|
compress) its contents again on each run, and cowbuilder doesn't do this.
|
|
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
There are many arguments listed on the synopsis; each of them, if used, has to be used exactly in
|
|
the same order as it appears there.
|
|
In case you renamed the script to \fBpbuilder\-\fIdistribution\fP\fR, do not
|
|
use the \fBdistribution\fP parameter; same with \fBi386\fP / \fBamd64\fP if
|
|
the name also contains \-\fIarchitecture\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBdistribution\fP
|
|
Replace this with the codename of the version of Ubuntu or Debian you want to use.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBi386\fP / \fBamd64\fP
|
|
Only available on amd64 systems.
|
|
This is optional; default is \fBamd64\fP.
|
|
If \fBi386\fP is specified, an i386 environment will be used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBmainonly\fP
|
|
If you specify \fBmainonly\fP, only packages from the main (in Debian) or
|
|
main and restricted (in Ubuntu) components will be used. By default, all
|
|
official components are enabled. This only has effect when creating a new
|
|
environment.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBoperation\fP
|
|
Replace this with the action you want \fBpbuilder\fP to do (create, update,
|
|
build, clean, login or execute).
|
|
If you don't specify any action, but the next argument is a .dsc file, it
|
|
will assume that it should build.
|
|
Check its manpage for more details.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB[...]\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Replace this with other parameters, if needed.
|
|
For example, if \fBbuild\fP is the option, you will need to also specify
|
|
a .dsc file. As a special feature, if you specify a .dsc file you can
|
|
skip the \fBbuild\fP option and this script will automatically assume that
|
|
building is the action you want to do.
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.TP
|
|
pbuilder\-dist gutsy create
|

|
|
Same as above, but stores \fBpbuilder\fP's output on a file.

.SH FILES AND ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
By default, \fBpbuilder\-dist\fP will store all the files it generates in
|
|
\fB~/pbuilder/\fP. This can be changed by setting the $PBUILDFOLDER global
|
|
variable. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created on the run.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A file with the log of the last operation, called last_operation.log, will be
|
|
saved in the results subdirectory of each build environment.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default authentication method is \fBsudo\fP. You can change this by
|
|
setting the $PBUILDAUTH variable.
