Description
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).
Examples
To set up sbuild and build the hello world Debian package, use:
% sudosbuild-debian-developer-setup↵
% newgrpsbuild↵
% sbuild-dunstablehello↵Name
