NAME

   schroot-script-config - schroot chroot setup script configuration

DESCRIPTION

   schroot   uses  scripts  to  set  up  and  then  clean  up  the  chroot
   environment.  These scripts may be customised using  the  script-config
   key  in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf.  This key specifies a file which the
   setup scripts will source when they are run.   The  file  is  a  Bourne
   shell  script,  and in consequence may contain any valid shell code, in
   addition to simple variable assignments.  This will, for example, allow
   behaviour  to  be  customised  according to the specific chroot type or
   name.

   This file is deprecated, but is still  used  if  present;  it  will  be
   obsoleted  and  removed  in a future release.  All the settings in this
   file are now settable using  configuration  keys  in  schroot.conf,  as
   detailed below.  Existing configuration should be modified to use these
   keys in place of this file.

ENVIRONMENT

   The environment is the same as for  all  setup  scripts,  described  in
   schroot-setup(5).

VARIABLES

   The following variables may be set to configure setup script behaviour.
   Note that new variables may be added in future  releases.   Third-party
   extensions  to  schroot  which  add  their  own  setup  scripts may add
   additional  variables  which  are  not  documented  here;  consult  the
   extension documentation for further details.

   SETUP_COPYFILES
          A  file  containing a list of files to copy into the chroot (one
          file per line).  The file will have the same  absolute  location
          inside  the  chroot.   Note  that  this  is  settable  using the
          setup.copyfiles key.

   SETUP_FSTAB
          The filesystem table file to be used to mount filesystems within
          the  chroot.   The  format  of  this  file  is  the  same as for
          /etc/fstab, documented in fstab(5).  The only difference is that
          the  mountpoint  path  fs_dir  is relative to the chroot, rather
          than the root.  Note that this is settable using the setup.fstab
          key.   Also note that mountpoints are canonicalised on the host,
          which will  ensure  that  absolute  symlinks  point  inside  the
          chroot,  but  complex  paths containing multiple symlinks may be
          resolved incorrectly; it is advised to not use  nested  symlinks
          as mountpoints.

   SETUP_NSSDATABASES
          A  file  listing  the  system databases to copy into the chroot.
          The  default  databases   are   'passwd',   'shadow',   'group',
          'services',  'protocols', 'networks', and 'hosts'.  'gshadow' is
          not yet copied by default, due to not being supported by all but
          the most recent version of the GNU C library.  The databases are
          copied  using  getent(1)  so  all  database  sources  listed  in
          /etc/nsswitch.conf  will  be  used for each database.  Note that
          this is settable using the setup.nssdatabases key.
