NAME
sbuild.conf - configuration file for sbuild
DESCRIPTION
sbuild.conf is a Perl script which is sourced by sbuild to permit configuration. It is
run in a sandbox and restricted to setting a small number of variables, detailed below,
which may be set to configure the behaviour of sbuild. Each variable has an internal
name, shown in all caps, and a perl variable showing the default setting. Note that the
internal name is not accessible within sbuild.conf; only the variable may be assigned.
Also note that some of the defaults are set to be unique for each build, and so some of
the defaults shown here are unique to the user and system used to build sbuild, and will
be different for your system.
While sbuild permits many aspects of its behaviour to be configured, this should not
normally be required. The defaults should be adequate for most uses, and should only be
changed if you are doing something more advanced, or have specialist requirements.
CONFIGURATION
Build environment
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
STRING type. Library search path to use inside the chroot.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--use-snapshot
Default:
$ld_library_path = undef;
PATH STRING type. PATH to set when running dpkg-buildpackage.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--use-snapshot
Default:
$path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games';
Build options
APPEND_TO_VERSION
STRING type. Suffix to append to version number. May be useful for derivative
distributions.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--append-to-version
Default:
$append_to_version = undef;
BIN_NMU
STRING type. Binary NMU changelog entry.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--make-binNMU
Default:
$bin_nmu = undef;
BIN_NMU_CHANGELOG
STRING type. The content of a binary-only changelog entry. Leading and trailing
newlines will be stripped.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--binNMU-changelog
Default:
$bin_nmu_changelog = undef;
BIN_NMU_TIMESTAMP
STRING type. Binary NMU timestamp. The timestamp is either given as n integer in
Unix time or as a string in the format compatible with Debian changelog entries
(i.e. as it is generated by date -R). If set to the default (undef) the date at
build time is used.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--binNMU-timestamp
Default:
$bin_nmu_timestamp = undef;
BIN_NMU_VERSION
STRING type. Binary NMU version number.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--binNMU
--make-binNMU
Default:
$bin_nmu_version = undef;
BUILD_ARCH
STRING type. Build architecture (Arch we are building on).
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--arch
--build
build_arch = ...;
BUILD_ARCH_ALL
BOOL type. Build architecture: all packages by default.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--arch-all
--no-arch-all
Default:
$build_arch_all = undef;
BUILD_ARCH_ANY
BOOL type. Build architecture: any packages by default.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--arch-any
--no-arch-any
Default:
$build_arch_any = 1;
BUILD_ENV_CMND
STRING type. This command is run with the dpkg-buildpackage command line passed to
it (in the chroot, if doing a chrooted build). It is used by the sparc buildd
(which is sparc64) to call the wrapper script that sets the environment to sparc
(32-bit). It could be used for other build environment setup scripts. Note that
this is superseded by schroot's 'command-prefix' option
Default:
$build_env_cmnd = '';
BUILD_PATH
STRING type. By default the package is built in a path of the following format
/build/packagename-XXXXXX/packagename-version/ where XXXXXX is a random ascii
string. This option allows one to specify a custom path where the package is built
inside the chroot. The sbuild user in the chroot must have permissions to create
the path. Common writable locations are subdirectories of /tmp or /build. Using
/tmp might be dangerous, because (depending on the chroot backend) the /tmp inside
the chroot might be a world writable location that can be accessed by processes
outside the chroot. The directory /build can only be accessed by the sbuild user
and group and should be a safe location. The buildpath must be an empty directory
because the last component of the path will be removed after the build is finished.
Notice that depending on the chroot backend (see CHROOT_MODE), some locations
inside the chroot might be bind mounts that are shared with other sbuild instances.
You must avoid using these shared locations as the build path or otherwise
concurrent runs of sbuild will likely fail. With the default schroot chroot
backend, the directory /build is shared between multiple schroot sessions. You can
change this behaviour in /etc/schroot/sbuild/fstab. The behaviour of other chroot
backends will vary.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--build-path
Default:
$build_path = undef;
BUILD_PROFILES
STRING type. Build profiles. Separated by spaces. Defaults to the value of the
DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable when building natively and to the cross and
nocheck profiles when cross-building.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--profiles
Default:
$build_profiles = undef;
BUILD_SOURCE
BOOL type. By default, do not build a source package (binary only build). Set to
1 to force creation of a source package, but note that this is inappropriate for
binary NMUs, where the option will always be disabled.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
-s
--source
--no-source
Default:
$build_source = 0;
CHECK_SPACE
BOOL type. Check free disk space prior to starting a build. sbuild requires the
free space to be at least twice the size of the unpacked sources to allow a build
to proceed. Can be disabled to allow building if space is very limited, but the
threshold to abort a build has been exceeded despite there being sufficient space
for the build to complete.
Default:
$check_space = 1;
CLEAN_SOURCE
BOOL type. When running sbuild from within an unpacked source tree, run the
'clean' target before generating the source package. This might require some of the
build dependencies necessary for running the 'clean' target to be installed on the
host machine. Only disable if you start from a clean checkout and you know what you
are doing.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--clean-source
--no-clean-source
Default:
$clean_source = 1;
DISTRIBUTION
STRING type. Default distribution. By default, no distribution is defined, and
the user must specify it with the -d option. However, a default may be configured
here if desired. Users must take care not to upload to the wrong distribution when
this option is set, for example experimental packages will be built for upload to
unstable when this is not what is required.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
-d
--dist
Default:
$distribution = undef;
FORCE_ORIG_SOURCE
BOOL type. By default, the -s option only includes the .orig.tar.gz when needed
(i.e. when the Debian revision is 0 or 1). By setting this option to 1, the
.orig.tar.gz will always be included when -s is used.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--force-orig-source
Default:
$force_orig_source = 0;
GCC_SNAPSHOT
BOOL type. Build using current GCC snapshot?
Related sbuild(1) command line options:

Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--source-only-changes
Default:
$source_only_changes = 0;
TOOLCHAIN_REGEX
ARRAY:STRING type. Regular expressions identifying toolchain packages. Note that
for backward compatibility, this is also settable using the array @toolchain_regex
(deprecated), rather than an array reference.
Default:

'binutils$',
'dpkg-dev$',
'gcc-[\d.]+$',
'g\+\+-[\d.]+$',
'libstdc\+\+',
'libc[\d.]+-dev$',
'linux-kernel-headers$',
'linux-libc-dev$',
'gnumach-dev$',
'hurd-dev$',
'kfreebsd-kernel-headers$'
];
Build timeouts
INDIVIDUAL_STALLED_PKG_TIMEOUT
HASH:NUMERIC type. Some packages may exceed the general timeout (e.g. redirecting
output to a file) and need a different timeout. This has is a mapping between
source package name and timeout. Note that for backward compatibility, this is
also settable using the hash %individual_stalled_pkg_timeout (deprecated) , rather
than a hash reference.
Example:
%individual_stalled_pkg_timeout = (smalleiffel => 300,
jade => 300,
atlas => 300,
glibc => 1000,
'gcc-3.3' => 300,

Chroot options
APT_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED
BOOL type. Force APT to accept unauthenticated packages. By default,
unauthenticated packages are not allowed. This is to keep the build environment
secure, using apt-secure(8). By setting this to 1, APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated
is set to "true" when running apt-get. This is disabled by default: only enable it
if you know what you are doing.
Default:

APT_CLEAN
BOOL type. APT clean. 1 to enable running "apt-get clean" at the start of each
build, or 0 to disable.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--apt-clean
--no-apt-clean
Default:
$apt_clean = 0;
APT_DISTUPGRADE
BOOL type. APT distupgrade. 1 to enable running "apt-get dist-upgrade" at the
start of each build, or 0 to disable.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:

PACKAGE_CHECKLIST
STRING type. Where to store list currently installed packages inside chroot
Default:

--purge
--purge-build
Default:
$purge_build_directory = 'always';
PURGE_EXTRA_PACKAGES
BOOL type. Try to remove all additional packages that are not strictly required
for the build right after build dependencies were installed. This currently works
best with the aspcud resolver. The apt resolver will not make as much effort to
remove all unneeded packages and will keep all providers of a virtual package and
all packages from any dependency alternative that happen to be installed. The
aptitude and xapt resolver do not implement this feature yet. The removed packages
are not yet added again after the build finished. This can have undesirable side
effects like lintian not working (because there is no apt to install its
dependencies) or bare chroots becoming totally unusable after apt was removed from
them. Thus, this option should only be used with throw-away chroots like schroot
provides them where the original state is automatically restored after each build.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--purge-extra-packages
Default:
$purge_extra_packages = 0;
PURGE_SESSION
STRING type. Purge the schroot session following a build. This is useful in
conjunction with the --purge and --purge-deps options when using snapshot chroots,
since by default the snapshot will be deleted. Possible values are "always"
(default), "never", and "successful"
Related sbuild(1) command line options:

Related sbuild(1) command line options:
-b
--batch
Default:
$batch_mode = 0;
BUILD_DIR
STRING type. Output directory for build artifacts created by dpkg-buildpackage and
the log file. Defaults to the current directory if unspecified. It is used as the
location of chroot symlinks (obsolete) and for current build log symlinks and some
build logs. There is no default; if unset, it defaults to the current working
directory. $HOME/build is another common configuration.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:

};
Default:
$build_environment = {};
BUILD_USER
STRING type. Username used for running dpkg-buildpackage. By default the user
running sbuild is used within the chroot as well but that might allow a process
from within the chroot to break out of the chroot by attaching to a process running
outside the chroot with eg. gdb and then becoming root inside the chroot through
schroot and thus be able to leave the chroot.
build_user = ...;
CORE_DEPENDS
ARRAY:STRING type. Packages which must be installed in the chroot for all builds.
Default:
$core_depends = [
'build-essential:native',
'fakeroot:native'
];

expressions in this arrayref will be passed to dpkg-buildpackage and other programs
run by sbuild. The default value for this configuration setting is the list of
variable names as returned by Dpkg::Build::Info::get_build_env_whitelist() which is
also the list of variable names that is whitelisted to be recorded in .buildinfo
files. Caution: the default value listed below was retrieved from the dpkg Perl
library version available when this man page was generated. It might be different
if your dpkg Perl library version differs.

STRING type. Optimization criteria in extended MISC 2012 syntax passed to aspcud
through apt-cudf. Optimization criteria are separated by commas, sorted by
decreasing order of priority and are prefixed with a polarity (+ to maximize and -
to minimize). The default criteria is '-removed,-changed,-new' which first
minimizes the number of removed packages, then the number of changed packages (up
or downgrades) and then the number of new packages. A common task is to minimize
the number of packages from experimental. To do this you can add a criteria like
'-count(solution,APT-Release:=/a=experimental/)' to the default criteria. This
will then minimize the number of packages in the solution which contain the string
'a=experimental' in the 'APT-Release' field of the EDSP output created by apt. See
the apt-cudf man page help on the --criteria option for more information.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--aspcud-criteria
Default:
$aspcud_criteria = '-removed,-changed,-new';
BD_UNINSTALLABLE_EXPLAINER
STRING type. Method to use for explaining build dependency installation failures.
Possible value are "dose3" (default) and "apt". Set to the empty string or undef to
disable running any explainer.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--bd-uninstallable-explainer
Default:
$bd_uninstallable_explainer = 'dose3';
BUILD_DEP_RESOLVER
STRING type. Build dependency resolver. The 'apt' resolver is currently the
default, and recommended for most users. This resolver uses apt-get to resolve
dependencies. Alternative resolvers are 'apt', 'aptitude' and 'aspcud'. The 'apt'
resolver uses a built-in resolver module while the 'aptitude' resolver uses
aptitude to resolve build dependencies. The aptitude resolver is similar to apt,
but is useful in more complex situations, such as where multiple distributions are
required, for example when building from experimental, where packages are needed
from both unstable and experimental, but defaulting to unstable. If the dependency
situation is too complex for either apt or aptitude to solve it, you can use the
'aspcud' resolver which (in contrast to apt and aptitude) is a real solver (in the
math sense) and will thus always find a solution if a solution exists.
Additionally, the 'null' solver is provided. It is a dummy resolver which does not
install, upgrade or remove any packages. This allows one to completely control
package installation via hooks.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--build-dep-resolver
Default:
$build_dep_resolver = 'apt';
EXTRA_PACKAGES

EXTRA_REPOSITORY_KEYS
ARRAY:STRING type. Additional per-build apt repository keys.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--extra-repository-key
Default:
$extra_repository_keys = [];
RESOLVE_ALTERNATIVES
BOOL type. Should the dependency resolver use alternatives in Build-Depends,
Build-Depends-Arch and Build-Depends-Indep? By default, using 'apt' resolver, only
the first alternative will be used; all other alternatives will be removed. When
using the 'aptitude' resolver, it will default to using all alternatives. Note
that this does not include architecture-specific alternatives, which are reduced to
the build architecture prior to alternatives removal. This should be left disabled
when building for unstable; it may be useful when building for experimental or
backports. Set to undef to use the default, 1 to enable, or 0 to disable.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--resolve-alternatives

MAILTO_HASH
HASH:STRING type. Like MAILTO, but per-distribution. This is a hashref mapping
distribution name to MAILTO. Note that for backward compatibility, this is also
settable using the hash %mailto (deprecated), rather than a hash reference.

By default, if a Debian architecture is not found as a key in this hash, the
following will be added to the Build-Depends: crossbuild-
essential-${hostarch}:native, libc-dev, libstdc++-dev. The latter two are to work
around bug #815172.
