NAME

pbuilder-dist-simple - simple multi-release pbuilder wrapper

SYNOPSIS

pbuilder- <dist> operation [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

pbuilder-dist-simple is a wrapper that makes it easy to use pbuilder with chroots for many different Ubuntu distributions. If you need more features than pbuilder-dist-simple provides, have a look at pbuilder-dist (1).

USAGE

Create one symlink to pbuilder-dist-simple for each distribution for which you want a build environment, naming them like "pbuilder-lucid", "pbuilder-natty", etc.

Replace operation with the action you want pbuilder-dist-simple to do (create, update, build, clean, login or execute).

EXAMPLES

pbuilder-natty create

Creates a pbuilder environment for Ubuntu Natty.

pbuilder-lucid update

Updates an existing Ubuntu Lucid environment.

pbuilder-lucid build ./sample_1.0-0ubuntu1.dsc

Builds the specified package on an already existing Ubuntu Lucid environment.

FILES

By default, pbuilder-dist-simple will store all the files it generates in ˜/pbuilder/ . This can be changed by modifying the BASE_DIR value on the top of the script to any other directory you want. If the directory doesn’t exit, it will be created at runtime.

SEE ALSO

pbuilder (1), pbuilderrc (5), pbuilder-dist (1)
