pbuilder-dist-simple (1)

pbuilder-<dist> operation [...]

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).

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).

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.

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.
