sudo pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
  • Update every time before building packages (or on a daily basis)
sudo pbuilder update

COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"
  • update pbuilder environment:
sudo pbuilder update --override-config
  • multiple pBuilder: Falls man sowohl Backports als auch Pakete für die Entwicklungsversion erstellt möchte man parallel mehrere pBuilder-Umgebungen haben. Es ist auch möglich Pakete für Debian {en} zu bauen.
sudo DIST=squeeze pbuilder create
  • If you want to build Debian packages on Ubuntu, you need to install Debian archive keys and add Debian distribution name, Debian mirror and key location to pbuilder command line like this:
sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
sudo pbuilder create --distribution squeeze --mirror ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ --debootstrapopts "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg"
