Personal package builder for Debian packages
pbuilder is a personal package builder for Debian packages.
pbuilder constructs a chroot system, and builds a package inside the chroot. It is an ideal system to use to check that a package has correct build-dependencies. It uses apt extensively, and a local mirror, or a fast connection to a Debian mirror is ideal, but not necessary.
pbuilder create uses debootstrap to create a chroot image.
pbuilder update updates the image to the current state of testing/unstable/whatever.
pbuilder build takes a *.dsc file and builds a binary in the chroot image.
pdebuild is a wrapper for Debian Developers, to allow running pbuilder just like debuild, as a normal user.
