= PACKAGES STUCK WITH SCHROOT =

Allows you to configure '''chroots''' without requiring root credentials.

== Preparing environment for your caged Debian packages ==

{{attachment:jail.png}}

To start the installations, we will download the following packages:

{{{
# apt install debootstrap schroot
}}}

Once installed, we will edit the '''/etc/schroot/schroot.conf''' file.

{{{
# cp /etc/schroot/schroot.conf /etc/schroot/schroot.conf.old
}}}

{{{
# editor /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
}}}

{*} '''editor''' = ''your favorite text editor: nano, vim, mcedit, etc...''

In this model, we will do this in the '''amd64''' architecture, but you can change or create it in the '''i386''' architecture.

Copy and paste into the file.

=== Preparing caging ===

{{{

{{{
# echo proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
}}}

After these settings, type "'''exit'''" or press "'''Ctrl+D'''" to close everything.

=== Checking caging ===

{{{
user@debian: ~$ schroot -l
chroot:unstable-amd64
}}}

=== Accessing caged public user ===

{{{
user@debian:~$ schroot -c unstable-amd64

=== Accessing private caged (root) ===

{{{

}}}

We will do root access in the '''schroot''' configured to install some important packages for Debian packaging.

{{{
user@debian:~$ schroot -c unstable-amd64 -u root
}}}

{*} '''editor''' = ''your favorite text editor: nano, vim, mcedit, etc...''

=== Adjusting the "/etc/bash.bashrc" file ===

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# editor /etc/bash.bashrc
}}}

Insert at the end of the file /etc/bash.bashrc

||<#EAE5DA -4 style="border: medium none ;-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 30px ;"> alias ls="ls --color=auto"<<BR>> alias tree="tree -aC"<<BR>> alias debuildsa="dpkg-buildpackage -sa -k'''0987654321ABC1234567890DFG0987654321HIJL'''" # --> your GPG key.<<BR>> alias uscan="uscan --verbose --report"<<BR>> alias apt-cache="LANG=C apt-cache"<<BR>> alias man="LANG=C man"<<BR>> export DEBFULLNAME="'''put-your-full-name'''"<<BR>> export DEBEMAIL="'''put-your-email'''"<<BR>> export EDITOR="'''put-your-favorite-text-editor'''"<<BR>> export QUILT_PATCHES="debian/patches"<<BR>> export QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--no-timestamps --no-index -pab"<<BR>> export QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="--no-timestamps --no-index -pab"<<BR>> mount /proc<<BR>>||

Save and close.

=== Adjusting the "/etc/apt/sources.list" file ===

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# editor /etc/apt/sources.list
}}}

Edit the file, duplicate the existing line and change the beginning of the second line from "'''deb'''" to "'''deb-src'''". The end result will be:

{{{
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
}}}

Save, close and update:

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# apt update && apt upgrade
}}}

We can now install additional procedures for Debian packaging.

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# apt install autopkgtest blhc devscripts dh-make dput-ng how-can-i-help locales quilt renameutils spell splitpatch tree
}}}

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# dpkg-reconfigure locales tzdata
}}}

{{attachment:locales.png}}

''It is recommended that resetting '''locales''' leave "'''C.UTF-8'''" as the default.''

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# apt autoremove && apt autoclean
}}}

=== Adjusting the "/etc/lintianrc" file ===

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# editor /etc/lintianrc
}}}

Enable the following lines:

{{{
display-info = yes
pedantic = yes
display-experimental = yes
color = auto
}}}

=== Enabling the GPG key to sign packages ===

Edit the '''/etc/devscripts.conf''' file and enter your GPG key on the '''DEBSIGN_KEYID''' line and activate.


{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# editor /etc/devscripts.conf
}}}

{{{
DEBSIGN_KEYID=0987654321ABC1234567890DFG0987654321HIJL
}}}

Save and close. With that, schroot is ready for Debian packaging and you don't need to be root to get the job done.

'''NOTE:''' If an error message occurs when you are doing an "update/dist-upgrade" mentioning:

{{{
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 unknown system group 'Debian-exim' in statoverride file; the system group got removed
 before the override, which is most probably a packaging bug, to recover you
 can remove the override manually with dpkg-statoverride
}}}

To resolve, you might need to remove the statoverride entry.

{{{
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# dpkg-statoverride --list | grep Debian-exim
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# dpkg-statoverride --remove /etc/exim4/passwd.client
}}}
