Installing and Using pbuilder on the debbuilder box

Dirk Eddelbuettel edited this page Dec 31, 2017 · 1 revision
  1. Installed new .pbuilderrc in /etc/. Borrowed from here. Needs to be updated as new Ubuntu and Debian releases are made available.

  2. sudo DIST=trusty pdebuld

  3. sudo DIST=trusty pbuilder login --save-after-login

  4. Added RRutter PPA. Also ran 'apt-get update'. Might need to force that when doing builds.

Then for an individual package

  1. dget -u http://localhost/cran2deb2/rep/pool/main/z/zoo/zoo_1.8-0-1cran1.dsc

  2. cd zoo-1.8-0/

  3. sudo DIST=trusty pdebuild

Source package was not signed, neither is binary. When we automate, the newly built package needs to be available immediately since it may be a dependency.
