# svn-pdebuild-cross(1)

simple svn-buildpackage wrapper for crossbuild support

## Name

svn-pdebuild-cross - simple svn-buildpackage wrapper for crossbuild support

## Synopsis

```
 svn-pdebuild-cross [svn-buildpackage options]
```

## Description

`"svn-pdebuild-cross"` wraps svn-buildpackage to support cross-building inside a pbuilder chroot. `"svn-pdebuild-cross"` needs to be run in the top level source directory of the package (where it can find *debian/changelog*).

The script is a little (but just a little) more than an alias for:

```
 svn-buildpackage -aarmel --svn-builder /usr/bin/pdebuild-cross --svn-rm-prev-dir
```

## Options

`"svn-pdebuild-cross"` supports no options itself, any options specified will be passed untouched to *svn-buildpackage*.

## Architecture

*/etc/pdebuild-cross/pbuilder.rc* defaults to your default dpkg-cross architecture selection - edit the */etc/pdebuild/pdebuild-cross.rc* configuration file to change the architecture. See also *pdebuild-cross-create* (1)

## Creating the chroot

Use `"pdebuild-cross-create"` to build a suitable chroot tgz using multistrap.
