NAME
pbuilder-user-mode-linux - personal package builder in UML
SYNOPSIS
pbuilder-user-mode-linux create [options]
pbuilder-user-mode-linux update [options]
pbuilder-user-mode-linux build [options] .dsc-file
pbuilder-user-mode-linux execute [options] script
pbuilder-user-mode-linux login [options]
DESCRIPTION
Front end program to the pbuilder suite of programs, used for creating
and maintaining user-mode-linux environment and building Debian package
within the user-mode-linux virtual machine environment.
Unlike pbuilder , pbuilder-user-mode-linux does not require root
privilege to run. It should be ran under a normal user.
OPTIONS
create Creates a user-mode-linux root image for the specified
distribution using rootstrap software
update Updates the user-mode-linux root image for the specified
distribution. Also, by specifying the --distribution option, it
is possible to switch the distribution. Specify a dummy
distribution value even for custom apt config files.
build Builds the package specified by .dsc-file within the user-mode-
linux environment.
login Invokes shell within UML.
dumpconfig
dumps configuration information about user-mode-linux, used for
debugging.
execute
Invokes a command or script inside UML. execute will copy the
specified file into the UML system, and run it.
The remaining command-line arguments are passed on to the
script.
--uml-image [UML image]
Specify the UML image to use.
--eth0 [uml option for eth0]
Specify this option as parameter to UML.
Specify --eth0=slirp,12345,/usr/bin/slirp-fullbolt to use the
slirp connection.
--uml-ip [IP inside UML]
Specify this to set the IP inside UML.
This can be set to dhcp for obtaining IP address through DHCP.
--uml-netmask [netmask]
The netmask.
--uml-network [network]
The network address.
--uml-broadcast [broadcast]
The broadcast address.
--uml-gateway [gateway]
The gateway address.
--mount-tmpfs [yes]
Specify whether to mount tmpfs inside UML chroot.
--uml-hostname [uml-host]
The hostname inside uml.
--distribution [sid]
Specify the distribution. see pbuilder(8)
--binary-arch
Specify only to build binary-arch targets. see pbuilder(8)
--timeout timeouttime
Timeout build after specified time. see pbuilder(8)
--configfile config file to read
Makes pbuilder to read the config file inside UML. pbuilder-
user-mode-linux itself would be affected by the contents of the
config file.
--hookdir location of hooks
Makes pbuilder use the specified hookdir inside UML.
--aptconfdir apt configuretion directory
Makes pbuilder to use specified apt configuration directory
instead of other settings. See pbuilder(8)
--override-config
Specify this option along with --distribution to switch
distribution using pbuilder-user-mode-linux update
--logfile logfilename
Specify this option to make the output go to logfilename as well
as standard output.
--buildresult /dir/to/build/result
The directory where build result is placed to
--uml-debugmode
Enable tracing of shell scripts used by
pbuilder-user-mode-linux.
--bindmounts /dir/to/bind-mount
Bind-mount the directory inside the chroot inside the user-mode-
linux.
--buildplace place-to-put-COW-file
Specify the directory to place the COW file. The user needs to
be able to access that directory, and the directory must exist.
--uml-login-nocow
Do not use COW filesystem when using pbuilder-user-mode-linux
login so that changes made in the log in session will persist.
Effective in login and exec options.
--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 .
These options are only valid when --override-config option is
specified in update target, or when pbuilder create is being
called.
NOTES
For build and login targets, pbuilder-user-mode-linux will try to use
COW devices.
Inside user-mode-linux, pbuilder-user-mode-linux will mount tmpfs as
/tmp to avoid temporary file race conditions with outside of UML. This
may cause problems trying to use files in /tmp directory.
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.
/etc/pbuilder/pbuilder-uml.conf
System-wide configuration file for pbuilder-uml, it will take
priority over pbuilder configurations.
/usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilder-uml.conf
Software-default configuration file for pbuilder-uml.
${HOME}/.pbuilderrc
User-default configuration file.
