====== Debian Packaging ======


===== Packaging environment with sbuild =====

Install sbuild:

<code bash>
sudo apt install apt-cacher-ng sbuild schroot debootstrap
sudo adduser sbuild $(whoami) # you might need to re-login after this
</code>

Create a trixie sbuild chroot:

<code bash>
sudo sbuild-createchroot --include=eatmydata,ccache trixie \
    /var/lib/sbuild/trixie-amd64-sbuild \
    http://127.0.0.1:3142/debian
</code>

Same procedure applies for unstable by just replacing ''trixie'' by ''unstable''.

Then on a regular basis (or in crontab) you might need to update the sbuild chroot environment:

<code bash>
sudo sbuild-update --update --dist-upgrade --clean --autoremove --autoclean trixie
</code>


==== Building packages ====


Build a **source package**:

<code bash>
dpkg-buildpackage --build=source --no-check-builddeps
</code>

Build a **binary package**:

<code bash>
sbuild -d trixie
</code>
