buildd.conf(5)
NAME
buildd.conf - configuration file for buildd
DESCRIPTION
buildd.conf is a Perl script which is sourced by buildd to permit configuration. It is run in a sandbox and restricted to setting a small number of variables, detailed below, which may be set to configure the behaviour of buildd. Each variable has an internal name, shown in all caps, and a perl variable showing the default setting. Note that the internal name is not accessible within buildd.conf; only the variable may be assigned. Also note that some of the defaults are set to be unique for each build, and so some of the defaults shown here are unique to the user and system used to build sbuild, and will be different for your system. While buildd permits many aspects of its behaviour to be configured, this should not normally be required. The defaults should be adequate for most uses, and should only be changed if you are doing something more advanced, or have specialist requirements.
CONFIGURATION
Build environment
PATH STRING type. PATH to set when running dpkg-buildpackage.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--use-snapshot
Default:
$path =
'/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games';
Build options
BUILD_ARCH
STRING type. Build architecture (Arch we are building on).
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--arch
--build
build_arch = ...;
BUILD_PROFILES
STRING type. Build profiles. Separated by spaces.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
--profiles
Default:
$build_profiles = '';
DISTRIBUTION
STRING type. Default distribution. By default, no distribution
is defined, and the user must specify it with the -d option.
However, a default may be configured here if desired. Users
must take care not to upload to the wrong distribution when this
option is set, for example experimental packages will be built
for upload to unstable when this is not what is required.
Related sbuild(1) command line options:
-d
--dist
Default:
$distribution = undef;
DISTRIBUTIONS
ARRAY:HASH:SCALAR type. List of distributions that buildd
should take packages from
Example:
$distributions = [
{
# name of the suite to build (also used to query
wanna-build)
dist_name => ["unstable", "testing"],
# architecture to be built (will be passed to sbuild
and can be
# used to compute wanna_build_db_name)
built_architecture => undef,
# host on which wanna-build is run
wanna_build_ssh_host => "buildd.debian.org",
# user as who we are going to connect to the host
running wanna-build

# SSH control socket path for ssh -S option
wanna_build_ssh_socket => "",
# Additional SSH options used when connecting
wanna_build_ssh_options => [],
# database used for wanna-build
wanna_build_db_name => "arch/build-db",
# Username to use for wanna-build.
wanna_build_db_user => $Buildd::username,
# Local queue directory where binaries are stored
before uploaded
# by dupload. You need to configure this directory in
# @upload_queues to get packages uploaded from there.
dupload_local_queue_dir => "upload",
# list of packages which shouldn't be picked up by
buildd
no_auto_build => [],
# list of packages which should only be taken if there
absolutely
# nothing else to do (probably packages included in
no_auto_build
# because they take too long)
weak_no_auto_build => [],
# regex used to filter out unwanted packages:
#no_build_regex => "^(contrib/|non-free/)?non-US/",
# regex used to filter packages to build:
#build_regex => "",
# mail addr of buildd admin handling packages from
this distribution
logs_mailed_to => $admin_mail,
# schroot name (or alias) of the chrooted environment
to use for
# building (will be passed to sbuild). sbuild's
default is
# the first of $distribution-$arch-sbuild,
$distribution-sbuild,
# $distribution-$arch and $distribution.
sbuild_chroot => undef,
}

default the user running sbuild is used within the chroot as
well but that might allow a process from within the chroot to

the chroot through schroot and thus be able to leave the chroot.
