Authorization: NONE
.
pub_key
Get public key
Get ASCII-armored GnuPG public key of this instance.
Used to sign the apt repositories (apt key) and for authorization across instances.
Authorization: NONE
.
dput_conf
Get recommended dput config snippet
Usually, this is for integration in your personal ``~/.dput.cf``.
Authorization: NONE
.
sources_list
Get sources.list (apt lines)
Usually, this output is put to a file like ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mini-buildd-xyz.list``.
Authorization: NONE

run for a rollback distribution, this will perform a rollback restore.
Authorization: STAFF
.
remove Remove source package
Removes a source package along with all its binary packages.
Authorization: ADMIN
.
port Port internal source package
An internal 'port' is a no-changes (i.e., only the changelog will be adapted)
rebuild of the given locally-installed package.
When ``from_distribution`` equals ``to_distribution``, a rebuild will be done.
Authorization: STAFF
.
port_ext
Port external source package
An external 'port' is a no-changes (i.e., only the changelog will be adapted)
rebuild of any given source package.
Authorization: STAFF
.

remake_chroots
Remake chroots
Run actions 'remove', 'prepare', 'check' and 'activate'.
Note that Daemon will be stopped before running, cancelling ongoing events (``BUILDING``,
``PACKAGING``).
Authorization: ADMIN
.
start Start Daemon (accept incoming)
Does nothing if already started; will fail if Daemon instance is not activated.
Authorization: ADMIN
.
stop Stop Daemon (stop accepting incoming)
Does nothing if already stopped. Any possibly running builds will be cancelled.
This state is *not persisted*. Please *deactivate* the Daemon instance via :mbdpage:`setup` to
persist over *mini-buildd service* restarts.
Authorization: ADMIN
.
wake Wake a remote instance
Authorization: STAFF
.

This is for internal use only.
Authorization: NONE
.
cronjob

Authorization: ADMIN
.
uploaders
Get upload permissions for repositories
Authorization: ADMIN
.
snapshot_ls
Get list of repository snapshots for a distribution
Authorization: NONE
.
snapshot_create
Create a repository snapshot
Authorization: ADMIN
.
snapshot_delete

Authorization: ADMIN
.
debmirror
Make local partial repository mirror via :debpkg:`debmirror`
This may be useful if you plan on publishing a stripped-down (f.e., only certain repos,
only ``stable``, omit rollbacks) variant of your repo somewhere remote.
.. error:: debmirror: ``apt update`` fails on ``experimental`` suites (contents not mirrored)
(:debbug:`819925`)
This happens only on systems where APT is configured to download contents, most likely just because
``apt-file`` is installed. So, the easiest workaround is::
apt purge apt-file
Closest to an actual fix is to install debmirror variant '+abfixes' from
``Hellfield Archive``, where the "bug" has been fixed (June 2023: at least available for bullseye
and bookworm).
Authorization: ADMIN
.
keyring_packages
Build keyring packages
.. note:: **keyring-packages**: No compat for urold (``apt-key add``)
Since ``2.x``, keyring packages will use ``/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/<foo>.gpg``, not deprecated
``apt-key add <foo>``.
In Debian, this is supported since ``wheezy (2013)``.
For distributions ``<= squeeze`` (apt versions ``~<= 0.8.x``), you would manually have to run
``apt-key add /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/<foo>.gpg`` after installation of the keyring package.
Authorization: ADMIN
.
test_packages
Build test packages
Authorization: ADMIN
.
setup Create, update or inspect your setup
Note that Daemon will be stopped before running, cancelling ongoing events (``BUILDING``,
``PACKAGING``).
Authorization: ADMIN
.
Note: Uses ``python3-keyring`` to persist passwords (see ``man 1 keyring``)
