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
	[..]
	Do it for real [Y/n]: 
	[..]
* Install your build dependencies:

	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get build-dep hello
	[..]
	Do it for real [Y/n]: 
	[..]
* In the case of backports, you can install a given package. You could use, for example:

	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get install debhelper/jessie-backports
	[..]
* Change root to Debian unstable chroot:

	$ schroot -r -c $sessionid
* Download your source:

	(sid_arch-dchroot)user@porterbox:~$ apt-get source hello
* You should be able to reproduce your issue, hack on the package, fix the bug. Once you are done with your work, please, finish your schroot session:

	(sid_arch-dchroot)user@porterbox:~$ exit
	$ schroot -e -c $sessionid
	$ exit
* List your currently open sessions:

	$ schroot-list-sessions
* List all currently open sessions:

	$ schroot --list --all-sessions
* You should be done by now. If you find any issue, please report to debian-admin@lists.debian.org.
