# pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)

pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild

## NAME

pdebuild-user-mode-linux - pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild

## SYNOPSIS

**pdebuild-user-mode-linux \[***pdebuild-user-mode-linux options***\] -- \[***pbuilder-user-mode-linux options***\]**

## DESCRIPTION

A convenience program for  **pbuilder-user-mode-linux** which invokes pbuilder after obtaining appropriate root privilege  in a Debian source directory. One must be inside the source tree containing the **debian** directory, in order to make it work.

## PDEBUILD OPTIONS

- **--buildsourceroot \[***fakeroot***\]**

  The command used to gain root privilege for  invoking dpkg-buildpackage

- **--auto-debsign**

  Invoke debsign at the end of pdebuild process.

- **--debsign-k \[***key-id***\]**

  Pass  **-k** option to debsign to specify which keyid to sign.

- **--buildresult \[***Directory for build results***\]**

  The place which build result is stored.

- **--configfile \[***Extra config file to use***\]**

  The configuration file is used, but not passed on to  **pbuilder-user-mode-linux**.

- **--debbuildopts \[***options to pass to dpkg-buildpackage***\]**

  The space-delimited list of options are passed to dpkg-buildpackage. This option appends to pbuilder option **--debbuildopts** and may also be used to reset the list of options by passing the empty string.

- **--use-pdebuild-internal**

  Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean and build inside  the chroot, using bind-mounts.

  **pdebuild-internal** tries to run debian/rules clean inside the chroot. To achieve the goal, the working directory is passed on inside the chroot, in the form of bind-mounting and **debuild** is run.

  This option will not protect the working directory and its parent directories  from the build scripts.

- **-- \[***pbuilder options***\]**

  After the  **--** symbol, an arbitrary number of pbuilder options can be specified. See pbuilder-user-mode-linux.1 for full list of options.

  There is an exception that **--buildresult** needs to be specified as pdebuild option before the  **--** to be effective.
