NAME

       sbuild-debian-developer-setup - set up sbuild so that packages for Debian unstable can be built

SYNOPSIS

       sbuild-debian-developer-setup [-h|--help] [--distribution=distribution] [--suite=suite] [--arch=arch]

DESCRIPTION

       Deprecated: Note that this uses the schroot backend which is no longer used on the Debian buildds. Please
       switch  to the unshare backend. It does not need any prior setup nor regular cron jobs.  Don't run newgrp
       sbuild for the unshare backend as it will break the unshare calls.

       sbuild-debian-developer-setup is a convenience  script  to  set  up  an  sbuild  environment  for  Debian
       Developers.

       When  run,  it  adds  the  current  user to the sbuild group, creates a schroot for building packages for
       Debian unstable in /srv/chroot/unstable-$arch-sbuild, and creates a cronjob which  updates  said  schroot
       daily.

       The  script  assumes  you are on an un-metered internet connection (daily schroot updates might be costly
       otherwise).
