DESCRIPTION

       Front  end  program  to  the pbuilder suite of programs, used for creating and maintaining
       chroot environment and building Debian package in the chroot environment.

COMMANDS

       create
              Creates a base.tgz for the specified distribution.

       update
       up
       u
              Updates the base.tgz for the  specified  distribution.   Also,  by  specifying  the
              --override-config  option, it is possible to install a new apt-line using the given
              options and settings in the configuration file for the base.tgz.

              For example, to switch the distribution of an existing base.tgz to sid, specify the
              --distribution sid --override-config options to update.

       build
       b
              Builds  the  package specified by .dsc-file in the chroot environment created using
              the base.tgz

       clean
              Cleans up the directory specified by  the  configuration  BUILDPLACE  and  APTCACHE
              specified in /etc/pbuilderrc

       login
       l
              Logs  into the chroot, and cleaned up afterwards.  Any changes you make will not be
              kept.  Only use this for temporary  and  debugging  purposes.   Do  not  bind-mount
              filesystems directly inside the chroot.  Use --bindmounts option to mount.

       execute
       e
              Execute a script or command inside the chroot, in a similar manner to login

              The file specified in the command-line argument will be copied into the chroot, and
              invoked.

              The remaining arguments are passed on to the script.

       dumpconfig
              Dumps configuration information, used for debugging.

       debuild
              Builds a Debian package from the Debian source directory.   The  current  directory
              should have the usual debian/ directory.

              Same as pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal

OPTIONS

       The  command  is  followed  by  options  of  the  form --option name which will modify the
       semantics as explained below.  They are applied from left-to-right,  and  when  there  are
       conflicting options, the rightmost options will have effect.

       --basetgz [basetgz-location]
              Specifies the location of base.tgz

              This  option  will  define  the  default  distribution  and  apt-lines when used in
              pbuilder update and pbuilder create

       --buildplace [location of build]
              Specifies the location where building and  base.tgz  updating  and  creation  takes
              place. This is a temporary work directory.

              A subdirectory of that directory using the current PID of the process is used.

       --buildresult [location to put build result]
              Specifies  the  location  the build result gets into after building.  The deb files
              and other files that have resulted from build  is  copied  there.   Note  that  the
              default   value   is   not  the  current  directory,  or  ..   but  another  place,
              /var/cache/pbuilder/result This is to avoid overwriting already existing deb  files
              with the newly generated ones.

       --mirror [mirror location]
              Specifies  the  URL  of  Debian  mirror  to be specified in sources.list inside the
              chroot.  This option is only valid when distribution is being specified, for update
              and  build targets.  The format is something like: http://http.us.debian.org/debian
              which should point to your favourite mirror.

              This option can optionally be omitted, and left blank, in which case, this part  is
              skipped.

              Note that these URLs specified to pbuilder will be used from within the chroot, and
              specifying file:/somewhere/ will most probably fail.

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

       --distribution [distribution]
              Specifies  the  distribution  used.   The supported values are the ones debootstrap
              supports, plus experimental which is special cased in pbuilder.  For  instance  you
              may use: sid or experimental .

       --architecture [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.

       --host-arch [architecture]
              Specifies  the  host architecture (as described in dpkg-architecture(1)).  Defaults
              to the build architecture.  Use this flag if you are interested in  doing  a  cross
              architecture  build.   pbuilder will make sure the environment is correctly set up,
              including adding nocheck to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and DEB_BUILD_PROFILES.

       --no-auto-cross
              Suppress automatic addition of nocheck to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and  DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
              in case of cross-building.  All the other configuration (adding the architecture to
              dpkg, updating the apt cache, installing the cross toolchain,  passing  --host-arch
              to  dpkg-buildpackage, etc) is done nonetheless; specify this flag twice to prevent
              that from happening too.

       --components [components]
              Specifies the default distribution components to use. eg. "main contrib  non-free".
              Default is "main".

       --override-config
              Specify to use different apt set up inside the chroot than it was used for creating
              the base.tgz.  Specify this when you want to do pbuilder update  with  a  different
              distribution target set up.

              --distribution  ,  --components  ,  --mirror , --othermirror options are only valid
              when --override-config option is specified  in  update  target,  or  when  pbuilder
              create is being called.

       --http-proxy [proxy]
              Specifies  the  http  proxy URL. Something like http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/ should
              do.

       --use-network [yes|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 of no.
              Disabling network access currently only works on Linux.

       --aptcache [location of retrieved package files]
              Specifies the location where the packages downloaded by apt should be  cached.  Use
              --aptcache "" if you want caching to be turned off.

       --debdelta
              This  option is used in the update target, and enable the use of debdelta (if it is
              already installed, otherwise will be installed the first time this option is used).

       --configfile [configuration file to load]
              Additional configuration file to read after all other configuration files have been
              read.

       --hookdir [location of user scripts]
              Specifies  the  location  where scripts for user intervention during the create and
              update process are stored.  Scripts are executed inside  the  chroot.   The  script
              names  must  be  in the form X<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> much like boot
              scripts. The scripts must be executable and may be either binaries  or  interpreted
              scripts. If it is a script in other than Bourne Shell or Perl, it is up to the user
              to ensure the interpreter was previously installed  in  the  chrooted  environment.
              Files ending in ~ or .bak are ignored.

              Although  it may not seem necessary, pbuilder --update does not invoke the hooks if
              --hookdir is empty, so if you want  to  avoid  running  hooks,  run  pbuilder  with
              --hookdir ""

              If  there  is  a distribution hook, for example, if there was a file sid inside the
              hook directory, and the script  was  creating  the  chroot  for  sid  distribution,
              pbuilder  will  call  debootstrap  with  that  as  the  4th parameter in the chroot
              creation process.  This allows for use of custom debootstrap hook script.

              A<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is for build target.  It is executed before
              build  starts;  after  unpacking  the  build  system, and unpacking the source, and
              satisfying the build-dependency.

              B<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed  after  build  system  finishes
              building, successfully, before copying back the build result.

              C<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want>  is  executed  after  build failure, before
              cleanup.

              D<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed  before  unpacking  the  source
              inside  the  chroot,  after  setting  up  the chroot environment.  Create $TMP, and
              $TMPDIR if necessary.

              This is called before build-dependency is satisfied.  Also useful for calling  apt-
              get update

              E<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed after pbuilder update
               and pbuilder create finishes apt-get work with the chroot, before umounting kernel
              file systems (/proc) and creating the tarball from the chroot.

              F<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed just before user  logs  in,  or
              program starts executing, after chroot is created in login or execute target.

              G<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want>   is   executed   just   after  debootstrap
              finishes, and configuration is loaded,  and  pbuilder  starts  mounting  /proc  and
              invoking apt-get install in create target.

              H<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want>   is  executed  just  after  unpacking  the
              chroot, mounting proc and any bind mount specified in  BINDMOUNTS.   It's  executed
              for  every  target  that  requires the unpacked chroot.  It's useful if you want to
              dynamically change the chroot guts before anything starts using it.

              I<digit><digit><whatever-else-you-want> is executed  after  build  system  finishes
              building, successfully, after copying back the build results.

              In your hook the following environment variables are available:
               PBUILDER_OPERATION  a  string  indicating  which  of the pbuilder command has been
               called.  Possible values are build, clean, create, debuild,  dumpconfig,  execute,
               login, update.
               BUILDDIR  the  place  where  the build happens, the sources are inside a directory
               named <package>-<version>.
               DISTRIBUTION the name of the used distribution, as provided  by  the  DISTRIBUTION
               config value, or the --distribution command line flag.
               BUILD_ARCH  contains  the  build  architecture,  the  architecture  the package is
               building on.
               HOST_ARCH contains the host architecture, the architecture the package is building
               for.

       --debbuildopts [options]

              List  of  options  that  are  passed  on  to dpkg-buildpackage.  Multiple flags are
              additive and are appended to the value of DEBBUILDOPTS as specified in  pbuilderrc.
              To clear the list of options, pass the empty string, e.g.  --debbuildopts "".

              Multiple options are delimited with spaces, like --debbuildopts "-j100 -E"

       --profiles [profile1[,profile2]]
              Comma-separated  list  of  build  profiles to use during the build.  It overrides a
              possible DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable already defined.

       --logfile [file to log]
              Specifies the logfile to create.  The messages generated during execution  will  be
              written to the specified file, and the standard output.

       --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).

       --binary-arch

              Specify  to  build only architecture specific targets instead of all targets.  This
              instructs  pbuilder  to  respect  only  Build-Depends,  Build-Depends-Arch,  Build-
              Conflicts,  Build-Conflicts-Arch  source relationships, and calls dpkg-buildpackage
              with -B.

              Setting --debbuildopts after this option will re-set some parts of the effects.

              Use this option rather than using --debbuildopts -B.

       --binary-indep

              Specify to build only architecture independent  targets  instead  of  all  targets.
              This  instructs pbuilder to respect only Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, Build-
              Conflicts, Build-Conflicts-Indep source relationships, and calls  dpkg-buildpackage
              with -A.

              Setting --debbuildopts after this option will re-set some parts of the effect.

              Use this option rather than using --debbuildopts -A.

       --source-only-changes, --no-source-only-changes
              Specify  whether  or  not to generate an additional .changes file for a source-only
              upload, whilst still producing a full .changes file for any binary packages built.

       --bin-nmu [changelog message]
              Specify to build a binary-NMU instead of a standard package.  This option takes the
              changelog message to pass to the binary-NMU package as parameter.

       --bin-nmu-maintainer [maintainer]
              Specify  the maintainer name and email address to be displayed in the changes file.
              If no maintainer is provided, it defaults to the last uploader.

       --bin-nmu-version [version number]
              Specify the number to append to the version  in  the  binary-NMU  package.   If  no
              number is provided, it defaults to 1.

       --bin-nmu-timestamp [timestamp]
              Specify  the timestamp to use in the generated chagnelog entry.  If no timestamp is
              provided, it defaults to current time.  If you want to specify the time as a number
              of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, prepend an at sign (@) like @1478786376.

       --bindmounts bind-mount-points
              Bind-mount  the specified directories to inside the chroot.  bind-mount-points is a
              space-delimited list of directories to bind-mount which should be  specified  in  a
              space-delimited  manner,  surrounded  in  double  quotations,  like: "/srv /somedir
              /someotherdir"

       --debootstrapopts                        --variant=buildd                        --keyring
       /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
              Add extra command-line options to debootstrap.

              Specify multiple options through multiple instance of this option, for example:

              --debootstrapopts --arch=arm --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd

       --debootstrap debootstrap
              Use specified debootstrap implementation as debootstrap.  Known implementations are
              cdebootstrap, qemu-debootstrap and debootstrap and default is to use debootstrap.

       --allow-untrusted
              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 --keyring to add the key(s).

       --keyring path/to/keyring
              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.  Can  be
              specified multiple times.

              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.

       --save-after-login

       --save-after-exec
              Save  the  chroot  image after exiting from the chroot instead of deleting changes.
              Effective for login and execute session.

       --autocleanaptcache
              Clean apt cache automatically, to run apt-get autoclean to only keep  the  packages
              which  are  required  for  the  version  of Debian.  This is useful when you keep a
              aptcache directory for each distribution and want to keep the size of the  aptcache
              down.

       --help

              Show a brief help message.

MORE SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       Some options are more involved to pbuilder internal than others. The following options are
       available.

       --removepackages [packages to remove]
              Removes the  packages  on  creating  the  base.tgz.   Use  this  option  to  remove
              potentially  dangerous or undesirable packages, like lilo which nobody will need to
              have inside a chroot.

              Packages should be specified in a  space-delimited  manner,  surrounded  in  double
              quotations, like "lilo gcc mawk"

       --extrapackages [packages to add]
              Adds  packages specified as an addition to the default, which is build-essential by
              default.  This is used in build and create (after successfully creating the initial
              chroot) and update.

              The  packages  should  be  specified  as  a  space-delimited list, or by specifying
              --extrapackages multiple times.

       --debemail [maintainer-name <email-address>]

              Specifies that dpkg-buildpackage be called with  -mmaintainer-name  <email-address>
              instead of default value specified in the environment variable, or pbuilderrc

              This option is almost obsolete, use --debbuildopts instead

       --pkgname-logfile
              Alternative  option  to  --logfile option.  Automatically creates a logfile that is
              named by the .dsc file name, only really applicable for build target.

              The file extension is specified by PKGNAME_LOGFILE_EXTENSION in pbuilderrc

       --aptconfdir [APT configuration directory to use]
              Uses the apt configuration file found in the  specified  directory  as  the  chroot
              configuration.   /etc/apt  is  one  example, so that  the same configuration can be
              used inside the chroot.

              This option overrides other options, and may cause some inconsistency problems.

       --timeout [timeout in sleep time]
              Time out building after sleeping set time.  Specify something like --timeout 10h in
              the command line.  Default is no timeout.

       --no-targz
              Not  using  base.tgz  for  operation.   The  --buildplace  will  not be deleted and
              reconstructed from a .tar.gz file.  Also, pbuilder will not add its process  ID  to
              the --buildplace as it usually would.

              Useful when experimenting with chroots, or trying to create chroots outside control
              of pbuilder.

       --compressprog
              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).

       --twice
              Build the package twice in a row.  Useful to ensure the package cleans up properly.
              The resulting packages are the ones from the second build.

       --preserve-buildplace
              Do not clean the --buildplace if it has the same contents as the .tar.gz file,  and
              no modifications are done.

              For preserving the build place for create and update targets, see debug option.

              As with --no-targz, suppresses appending pbuilder's process ID to the --buildplace.

              This  is  useful  if  you  want  to  attempt  to  build  a large number of packages
              successively, but you expect that many of them cannot have their build dependencies
              satisfied.

              It will clean up the build place on failure, or after a successful build.

       --debug

              Turn  on  Debug  mode  of  pbuilder,  to  be verbose about errors, and try to avoid
              cleanup processing when error happens in update and create targets.

       --inputfile filename

              Add extra file to be copied to BUILDDIR inside the build environment.

              available in build and login and execute targets.

FILES

       /etc/pbuilderrc
              The system-wide configuration file for pbuilder.

       /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc
              The default settings for pbuilder, used as fallback for  all  values  that  is  not
              specified in /etc/pbuilderrc.

       ${HOME}/.pbuilderrc
              The personal configuration file for pbuilder, which overrides settings set in other
              configuration files.

              Note that ${HOME} is usually /root (if you are running pbuilder through sudo).
