Source: pbuilder Section: devel Priority: extra Maintainer: Junichi Uekawa Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>> 3.0.0) Standards-Version: 3.5.6 Package: pbuilder Architecture: all Depends: debootstrap (>= 0.1.16.2), wget, gcc Recommends: fakeroot, sudo Description: personal package builder for Debian packages Constructs a chroot system, and builds a package inside the chroot. . Ideal system to use to check that Build-dependency is correct, and to be sure that unnecessary and wrong build dependency will not exist with the resulting binary package. . pbuilder create uses debootstrap to create a chroot image. . pbuilder update updates the image to the current state of testing/unstable/whatever . pbuilder build takes a *.dsc file to build a binary in the chroot image. . pdebuild is a wrapper for Debian Developers, to allow running pbuilder just like "debuild", from a normal user privilege . Uses apt extensively, and a local mirror, or a fast connection to a Debian mirror is ideal, but not necessary.
