PACKAGES STUCK WITH SCHROOT
Allows you to configure chroots without requiring root credentials.
For a better knowledge on the subject:
Starting prison for packages
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.
[unstable-amd64] |
1. Installing the Debian base in the cage
# mkdir -p /srv/chroot/unstable-amd64 |
# debootstrap --arch amd64 unstable /srv/chroot/unstable-amd64 https://deb.debian.org/debian |
2. Entering the cage
# chroot /srv/chroot/unstable |
# echo proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 >> /etc/fstab |
# echo mount /proc >> /etc/bash.bashrc |
After these settings, type "exit" or press "Ctrl+D" to close everything.
Confirming that the configured prison is correct
user@debian: ~$ schroot -l |
Entering prison as a user:
user@debian:~$ schroot -c unstable-amd64 |
Entering private prison: (root)
user@debian:~$ schroot -c unstable-amd64 -u root |
Basic Debian packaging configurations
Thanks to Eriberto and I recommend everyone to access this link for more details on how to package your software in Debian.
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...
1. Adjusting the "/etc/bash.bashrc" file
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# editor /etc/bash.bashrc |
Insert at the end of the file /etc/bash.bashrc
alias ls="ls --color=auto" |
Save and close.
2. 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 |
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 git-buildpackage |
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# dpkg-reconfigure locales tzdata |
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# apt autoremove && apt autoclean |
3. Adjusting the "/etc/lintianrc" file
(unstable-amd64)root@debian:~# editor /etc/lintianrc |
Enable the following lines:
display-info = yes |
4. 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.
