NAME

       debspawn-create - Create new container images

SYNOPSIS

       debspawn create [-h|--help] [--variant] [-a|--arch] [--mirror] [--components]
                       [--base-suite] [--extra-suites] [--extra-sourceslist-lines] {SUITE}

DESCRIPTION

       Create a new base image for a suite known to debootstrap(1). The image will later be used
       to spawn ephemeral containers in which packages can be built.

EXAMPLES

       You can easily create images for any suite that has a script in debootstrap. For example,
       to create a Debian Unstable image for your current machine architecture, you can use:

       $ debspawn create sid

       A more advanced example, for building on Ubuntu 18.10 on the x86 architecture:

       $ debspawn create --arch=i386 cosmic

OPTIONS

       -h|--help
           Print brief help information about available commands.

       --variant
           Set the bootstrap script variant.

       -a|--arch
           The architecture of the container.

       --mirror
           Set a specific mirror to bootstrap from.

       --components
           A comma-separated list of archive components to enable in the newly created image.

       --base-suite
           A full suite that forms the base of the selected partial suite (e.g. for -updates and
           -backports).

       --extra-suites
           Space-separated list of additional suites that should also be added to the
           sources.list file.

       --extra-sourceslist-lines
           Lines that should be added to the build environments source.list verbatim. Separate
           lines by linebreaks.
