cowbuilder
cowbuilder(8) cowdancer cowbuilder(8)NAME
cowbuilder - a pbuilder wrapper for cowdancer.
SYNOPSIS
cowbuilder [commands] [options]
DESCRIPTION
cowbuilder Executes the specified pbuilder operation with cowdancer
COMMANDS
Most commands invoke pbuilder with the specified commands, see pbuilder manual for details.
--create
Create the base.cow image. The directory for base.cow should be empty, or this command will fail.
--update
Update the base.cow image.
--build .dsc-file
Build a package given a .dsc file
--login
Start a session within the base.cow.
--execute
Execute a command within the base.cow.
--dumpconfig
dump configuration information.
OPTIONS
Most options are the same as pbuilder, except for the following which are handled specially
--buildplace
The place where COW operation takes place.
--basepath
has a very different meaning to basetgz option of pbuilder, since there is no tgz. This option specifies the directory in which the
COW master data is stored, the default being /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow
--configfile [configuration file to load]
Additional configuration file to read after all other configuration files have been read.
--no-cowdancer-update
Do not use cowdancer on cowbuilder --update. Please use this option when cowdancer is interfering with upgrade process, or cowdancer
itself is being upgraded within chroot.
--debian-etch-workaround
Work around on Debian etch compatibility. cow-shell will search for all files in chroot, but will work.
CONFIGURATION FILES
cowbuilder reads the following configuration files per default.
/usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc
Application default, not to be changed.
/etc/pbuilderrc
System-wide default.
~/.pbuilderrc
User default
anything specified with --configfile option
Additional configuration at runtime.
CONFIGURATION FILE OPTIONS
The possible configuration options are as follows. Others are ignored.
DISTRIBUTION=distribution
BUILDRESULT=directory
BUILDPLACE=directory
BASEPATH=path
MIRRORSITE=http://mirror
NO_COWDANCER_UPDATE=1
See --no-cowdancer-update
DEBIAN_ETCH_WORKAROUND=1
See --debian-etch-workaround
EXAMPLES
cowbuilder --create
Create a base.cow image.
# cowbuilder --create --hookdir /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/workaround/ --distribution etch --debootstrap debootstrap --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-test.cow
bash: /root/.pbuilderrc: No such file or directory
W: /home/dancer/.pbuilderrc does not exist
-> Running in no-targz mode
Distribution is etch.
Building the build environment
-> running debootstrap
/usr/sbin/debootstrap
I: Retrieving Release
.
.
cowbuilder --update
Update the base.cow image.
# cowbuilder --update
bash: /root/.pbuilderrc: No such file or directory
-> Copying COW directory
-> Invoking pbuilder
W: /home/dancer/.pbuilderrc does not exist
-> Running in no-targz mode
-> copying local configuration
-> mounting /proc filesystem
-> mounting /dev/pts filesystem
-> policy-rc.d already exists
Refreshing the base.tgz
-> upgrading packages
.
.
cowbuilder --build test_0.1.dsc
Build the package specified in dsc file, with the base.cow image.
pdebuild --pbuilder cowbuilder
Run
cowbuilder --build
against the current directory.
The current directory should be an extracted Debian source package directory.
Edit
/etc/pbuilderrc
to have
PDEBUILD_PBUILDER=cowbuilder
to make this the default behavior for
pdebuild.
cowbuilder --login --bindmounts /home/dancer
Start a cow-shell session inside base.cow, with
/home/dancer
being bind-mounted to within chroot.
Note that cowbuilder will not cow-protect what is inside
/home/
# cowbuilder --login --bindmount ${HOME}
bash: /root/.pbuilderrc: No such file or directory
-> Copying COW directory
-> Invoking pbuilder
W: /home/dancer/.pbuilderrc does not exist
-> Running in no-targz mode
-> copying local configuration
-> mounting /proc filesystem
-> mounting /dev/pts filesystem
-> Mounting /home/dancer
-> policy-rc.d already exists
-> entering the shell
#
cowbuilder --create --distribution sid --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-test.cow
Create a base.cow image with the path
/var/cache/pbuilder/base-test.cow
and distribution sid.
