FILES

       $HOME/.mk-sbuild.rc
              Sourced for environment variables (defined above).

       $HOME/.mk-sbuild.sources[.$DISTRO]
              Can  contain a customized sources.list.  It will be read when creating the schroot.
              If a file with ".ubuntu" or ".debian" is found (as appropriate) it  will  use  used
              instead.  See sources.list (5) for more details on the format.

              Can   contain   a   customized   configuration   section   to   be   inserted  into
              /etc/schroot/schroot.conf.  If a file with ".lvm-snapshot", ".directory",  ".file",

              schroot.conf (5) for more details on the format.

USING THE CHROOTS

       To CHANGE the golden image: sudo schroot -c ${SCHROOT_NAME}-source -u root

       To ENTER an image snapshot: schroot -c $SCHROOT_NAME

       To BUILD within a snapshot: sbuild -A -d $SCHROOT_NAME $PACKAGE*.dsc

       for example, to update the packages in a sid-amd64 golden image:
              schroot -c sid-amd64-source -u root -- sh -c "apt-get -qq  update  &&  apt-get  -qy
              upgrade && apt-get clean" </dev/null
