# mini-buildd-bootstrap-apt(1)

Automated TOFU-style archive keyring package installation from any mini-buildd endpoint.

## NAME

mini-buildd-bootstrap-apt - Automated TOFU-style archive keyring package installation from any mini-buildd endpoint.

## SYNOPSIS

**mini-buildd-bootstrap-apt** *\<ENDPOINT\>* \[*auto*\] *(as user root)*

## DESCRIPTION

Automated TOFU-style archive keyring package installation from any mini-buildd endpoint.

You may override automatic perusal of 'codename' (your system) and/or 'identity' (mini-buildd's identity) calling us like so:

MBD\_CODENAME=foo MBD\_IDENTITY=bar MBD\_APT\_LINE="deb ..." mini-buildd-bootstrap-apt ...

This may be useful if computation fails (tools not available) or is wrong for some reason.
