sbuild

This formula makes it easy to configure sbuild and the associated build chroots. It relies on schroot-formula and debootstrap-formula to setup the required build chroots.

Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Available states

sbuild

Create chroots described in pillar data below sbuild:chroots. The chroot description is an extension of the pillar data used by schroot-formula and debootstrap-formula (check their documentation to learn the basics) with the following changes:

• The chroot name (as registered in schroot) is generated with the <identifier>-<architecture>-sbuild template (where identifier is the name of the top-level key).
• dist_aliases defaults to True
• short_alias defaults to False
• The default schroot configuration is modified so that users in the sbuild group have full access to the chroots and so that builds use a temporary aufs overly.

Here's a quick sample:

sbuild:
  basedir: /srv/sbuild
  chroots:
    sid:                          # the base distribution
      vendor: debian              # the name of the vendor
      architectures:
        - amd64
        - i386
      extra_dists:                # extra APT repositories to enable
        - experimental
      with_source: True           # include deb-src entries in sources.list
    jessie:
      ...

sbuild.prereq

Ensure that sbuild is installed and that the base directory hosting chroots exists. In general, there's no reason to use this state directly. The fact that it is separated from sbuild is only due to an implementation detail.

Configuration

See the pillar.example file to have an idea of everything that can be customized in this formula.
