using schroot in debian.org porterboxes ======================================= When logging into Debian porterbox machine: * List available chroots:
$ schroot -l
* Begin a persistent schroot session on Debian unstable (or in the case of backports replace sid with, for example, jessie-backports):
# Pick your own session name:
$ echo -n "Session ID: " && read sessionid && schroot -b -c sid -n $sessionid
# or use a random one:
$ sessionid=$(schroot -b -c sid)
* Update and upgrade Debian unstable chroot:
$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get update
$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get upgrade
