NAME

sbuild-debian-developer-setup - set up sbuild so that packages for Debian unstable can be built

SYNOPSIS

sbuild-debian-developer-setup [-h|--help] [--distribution=distribution] [--suite=suite] [--arch=arch]

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).

--suite=suite: Set up an sbuild chroot for suite. Defaults to "unstable".
