Ubuntu Manpage: pbuilderrc - configuration files for personal package builder

NAME

       pbuilderrc - configuration files for personal package builder

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/pbuilderrc contains default values used in the pbuilder program invocation.

       The  file  itself  is sourced by a shell script, so it is required that the file conforms to shell script
       conventions.

       The environment variable PBUILDER_OPERATION contains the current operation mode of pbuilder, and  can  be
       used  to  do a conditional configuration.  Possible values are build, clean, create, debuild, dumpconfig,
       execute, login, update.

FORMAT

APTCACHE=/var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache
Specify the location that the packages downloaded by apt should be cached. Setting this value to
"" will cause caching to be turned off.

APTCACHEHARDLINK=yes
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.

APTCONFDIR=/etc/apt
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.

ARCHITECTURE=`dpkg --print-architecture`
Specifies the build architecture (as described in dpkg-architecture(1)). It'll be the
architecture used when creating the chroot, defaults to the
system one. The supported values are the ones debootstrap supports.

AUTOCLEANAPTCACHE=yes
Always run with --autocleanaptcache option.

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

BASETGZ=/var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz
Specifies the default location for the archived chroot image to be created and used. This is
overridden with the option --basetgz.

BINDMOUNTS=directories-to-bind-mount[:internal-mountpoint]
When this value is set, pbuilder will mount these directories using bind-mount. Different
directories are space separated, a column can optionally specify a mount destination inside the
chroot.
Do not bind-mount /.
An Example:

BINDMOUNTS="/home /mnt/test /home/joe/repo:/var/repo"

BUILDDIR=/build
The directory inside the chroot where the build happens. This directory will contain the build
products; the source packages will be unpacked in a subdirectory therein contained, named
$srcpkg-$ver, with $ver being the upstream part of the version, without epoch and debian revision.

Attention! Some directories — such as /tmp — are not safe to use since they can be world-writable,
and external users can temper with the build process.

BUILDPLACE=/var/cache/pbuilder/build/
The default place which the chroot is constructed. pbuilder will use the directory $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.

BUILDRESULT=/var/cache/pbuilder/result/
Specify the default directory which the build result will be copied over to after the building.

Unlike the --buildresult command-line option the path is not canonicalized, so you should specify
a full path, not a relative path.

EATMYDATA=no
Enable or disable the builtin eatmydata support.
For this to work the library of the same architecture as the one inside the chroot has to be
installed in the host.

CCACHEDIR=
Specifies where ccache will keep its cached compiler output. If this is specified, ccache will be
installed upon pbuilder create or pbuilder update, /usr/lib/ccache will be prepended to the PATH,
CCACHEDIR will be bind-mounted in the chroot, and CCACHE_DIR (ccache variable) will be set to
CCACHEDIR. Note that files in CCACHEDIR are chowned to BUILDUSERID (1234 by default).
ccache is disabled by default.

BUILDRESULTUID=

BUILDRESULTGID=
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 SUDO_UID, and SUDO_GID. The
default value is 0

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

BUILDUSERID=1234
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.

BUILDUSERNAME=pbuilder
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

COMPONENTS=main
Specify the default distribution components to use. This option is space-delimited, use quotes
when listing multiple components. This option only affects when doing pbuilder create or when
--override-config is specified for pbuilder update option.

COMPRESSPROG=gzip
Program to use for compression of the base.tgz. The default is to use gzip, and any program that
can be used to compress data using a pipe can be used.

If set to "pigz", compression and decompression is gzip compatible but will use all available
CPUs.
If set to "cat", there will be no compression at all (so compression/decompression will be a lot
faster but takes much more space on the disk).

export http_proxy=http://your-proxy:8080/
Defines the proxy for http connection.

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

DEBBUILDOPTS=
The options given here will be passed on to dpkg-buildpackage. This can be useful e.g. for
binary-only builds. The command-line option --debbuildopts will be appended to any contents
specified here but may also be used to reset the list of options.

The default value is to build source and binary package.

DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=( '--variant=buildd' '--keyring' '/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg' )
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. --keyring is used to specify a keyring for
debootstrap.

APTKEYRINGS=()
Additional keyrings to use for package verification with apt, not used for debootstrap (use
$DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS). Use this to add (local) signed repositories. By default the debian-archive-
keyring package inside the chroot is used.

Keyrings are copied into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d in the chroot. APT supports it since version
0.7.25.1, firstly available in the Debian release codenamed "squeeze" (released on 2011). For
older chroots, use a G hook to run apt-key manually.

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

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
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.

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

EXTRAPACKAGES="ccache lintian XXX"
Specifies extra packages which the system should install in the chroot on pbuilder create. This
is a space-delimited list. Also this is installed on pbuilder update

HOOKDIR=/usr/lib/pbuilder/hooks
Specifies the default location for the user hooks directory. This is overridden with the option
--hookdir.

If this is specified, hooks are searched for in the chroot, when running pbuilder. If it is not
defined, or is an empty string, hooks are not executed.

For details, see pbuilder(8)

LOGLEVEL=I
Specify how much output you want from pbuilder, valid values are E (errors only), W (errors and
warnings), I (errors, warnings and informational) and D (everything including some debug
messages).

USECOLORS=auto
Specify whether you'd like to see colored output from pbuilder. Valid values are auto (to try to
automatically detect whether the terminal supports them), yes (to always use colors), and no (to
never use colors).

MIRRORSITE=http://www.jp.debian.org/debian
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.

OTHERMIRROR=deb http://xxx/xxx/ ./ [| other deb lines... ]
The lines which is added to the sources.list, delimited with | Like:
deb http://local/mirror sid 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 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.

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

PKGNAME_LOGFILE_EXTENSION=_$(dpkg --print-architecture).build
The extension of filename used in pkgname-logfile option.

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

PBUILDERROOTCMD=sudo -E
This option is used on invocation of pbuilder build in pdebuild

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD=/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends
This option is used by various parts of pbuilder to satisfy (i.e. install) the build-dependencies
of a package. These are the available implementations:

pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt the newest implementation, which leverage the ability of apt 1.4 to
satisfy build dependencies and build conflicts from a .dsc; useful since it's pretty fast and
doesn't require the installation of any non-required package in the chroot, nor of dummy packages.

pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental might be useful to pull packages from repositories with a low
APT Pin Priority (for example, Debian's experimental or stable-backports).

pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude will resolve build-dependencies and build-conflicts with aptitude
which helps dealing with complex cases but does not support unsigned APT repositories.

pbuilder-satisfydepends-gdebi will resolve build-dependencies using gdebi, faster than classic
implementation, and does not require installation of a dummy package like the aptitude
implementation.

pbuilder-satisfydepnds-classic the "classic" implementation, which was the original implementation
used by default until v0.172.

The default is now "aptitude".

PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSOPT=()
Array of flags to give to pbuilder-satisfydepends.

SOURCE_ONLY_CHANGES=yes
Specify whether to generate an additional .changes file for a source-only upload, whilst still
producing a full .changes file for any binary packages built.

ALLOWUNTRUSTED=no
Allow untrusted (no key installed) and unsigned repositories. Warning: Enabling this option may
allow remote attackers to compromise the system. Better use signed repositories and $APTKEYRINGS
to add the key(s).

APTGETOPT=()
Extra flags to give to apt-get.

APTITUDEGETOPT=()
Extra flags to give to aptitude.

DEBDELTA=no
Enable use of debdelta to download the needed updated in the chroot, if debdelta is already
installed.

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

TIMEOUT_TIME=2h
Sets timeout time. Build will be stopped with SIGTERM after the set time.

USEDEVFS=no
Whether to mount a devfs or not. Has no effect on kFreeBSD, as a devfs (and fdescfs for /dev/fd)
is always used.

USEDEVPTS=yes
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.

USESYSFS=yes
Whether to mount a sysfs (linsysfs for kFreeBSD) in /sys or not. Has no effect on GNU/Hurd hosts,
where sysfs is not available. It is usually a good idea, since there are several software which
require /sys being populated.

USENETWORK=no
Specify yes when you do not want to disable network access during build. Network is not available
on a Debian buildd, so you might want to keep the default. Disabling network access currently
only works on Linux.

USECGROUP=yes
Specify yes to use a cgroup to isolate build processes, so that any stray processes from the build
can be cleaned up afterwords. This currently only works on Linux systems running systemd.

USESHM=yes
Specify yes when it is desired to mount /dev/shm mount point. It is usually a good idea in order
to work with software that expects shm to work.
/run/shm will be configured as a symbolic link to /dev/shm.
This option used to be named USERUNSHM, for compatibility purpose the old name is still supported,
and if set it'll override any USESHM.
Has no effect on GNU/Hurd hosts due to bugs in /hurd/tmpfs; since /dev is always bind-mounted, the
host's /dev/shm will be used.

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

USEPROC=yes
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.

ADDITIONAL_BUILDRESULTS=(foo "bar*" "baz\ biz")
Array of additional files to copy out of the build area.
In case a wildcard is needed (e.g. *.changes) quote it to have the wildcard escaped and not
expanded at configuration load time, but instead expanded at run time when the additional build
artifacts are exported. Spaces in file names needs to be escaped by using a \ or a wildcard to
match the space.

CONFDIR=/etc/pbuilder/conf_files
pbuilder copies some configuration files (like /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname) from the host system
into the chroot. If the directory specified here exists and contains one of the copied files
(without the leading /etc) that file will be copied from here instead of the system one.

BUILD_HOME=/nonexistent
Set the what the HOME environment variable points to during the builds. It defaults to a non-
existing directory to prevent builds from writing to HOME, which is reserved to users. If you
need a working HOME you can set it to $BUILDDIR instead.

BINNMU_MAINTAINER=
Set the value of the maintainer name and email in the changelog during binNMU. Such value is then
copied to the Changed-By field of the .changes file. Can be set at run time with the --bin-nmu-
maintainer command line option.
