-Chroot Install Request Guidelines
-=================================
-
-<small>(stored here for reference,
-[original announcement is available](http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/05/msg00002.html))</small>
-
-In order to make dealing with install requests easier for us please
-observe the following guidelines:
-
-1. Install requests should be directed to `debian-admin@lists.debian.org` (and
- only there) and the subject should be formed as following:
-
- Subject: [b-d][$arch|$machine] foobar ($chroot)
-
- Please start all mails concerning porting chroots with the [b-d] (short for
- build-depends) tag.
-
- Either choose [$arch] (eg. hppa) or a specific [$machine] (eg. paer) and tell
- us which package's build dependencies should be installed.
-
- If you omit $chroot we will assume you meant sid/unstable.
-
- So build-deps for openoffice.org on smetana in the lenny chroot would look
- like this:
-
- Subject: [b-d][smetana] openoffice.org (lenny)
-
- This kind of subject tagging will make it easier for us to quickly classify
- mail in the admin mailbox, allowing us to sort it into heaps that DSA has to
- handle and into requests that our helpers can most likely deal with.
-
-2. Please refrain giving us a long list of packages to install if possible.
- That is, if a simple `apt-get build-dep $foo` will satisfy your request then
- all we require is the value of $foo.
-
- If however the source package isn't yet listed in the chroot's Sources· file
- (because it's new or in experimental for instance) that won't be possible. In
- that case you will have to provide a list of packages for us to install.
- Please cut it down so that it is copy/pastable to an apt-get install command
- line, i.e. do not include any `foo | bar` constructs or version constraints
- (>= 2.71828).

-== HOWTO set up a porting dchroot on a debian.org machine ==
-
-The script 'upgrade-porter-chroots' has expectations about naming conventions
-for new porter chroots. The current list it searches for are:
-
-{{{
-lenny squeeze wheezy sid \
-lenny_i386 squeeze_i386 wheezy_i386 sid_i386 \
-lenny_amd64 squeeze_amd64 wheezy_amd64 sid_amd64 \
-sid_s390x \
-}}}
-
-Please make sure that new chroots meet the expectations of the script, or update
-the script accordingly (it lives in the debian.org.git repo)
-
-
-
-This example is for setting up a $DIST dchroot on paer.debian.org,
-adjust accordingly.
-
-Do the following as root:
-
-{{{
- echo -n 'Dist: ' && read DIST && export DIST &&
- echo -n 'Mirror: ' && read MIRROR && export MIRROR &&
- default_arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" &&
- echo -n "Arch [$default_arch]: " && read ARCH &&
- if [ -z "$ARCH" ]; then ARCH="$default_arch"; fi &&
- export ARCH
-}}}
-
-
-* create the chroot
-{{{
- cd /srv/chroot &&
- mkdir "${DIST}_${ARCH}" &&
- debootstrap --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg --include="apt" --variant=buildd $DIST ./"${DIST}_${ARCH}" http://$MIRROR/debian &&
- cp /etc/hosts "${DIST}_${ARCH}"/etc/
-}}}
-
-* enter the chroot and create the chroot tag:
-{{{
-chroot "${DIST}_${ARCH}"
-echo $DIST > /etc/debian_chroot
-
-#*)
- echo 'Acquire::PDiffs "false";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local-pdiff
- echo 'APT::Install-Recommends 0;' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local-recommends
- echo 'Acquire::Languages "none";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local-no-lang
-# # not sure this one's a good idea, -- weasel 20080829
-# ##echo 'DPkg::Post-Invoke { "(sleep 1; apt-get clean) &"; };' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local-cleanup
-#
-#*) deploy a policy-rc.d script:
- apt-get update &&
- apt-get install policyrcd-script-zg2 &&
- cat > /usr/local/sbin/policy-rc.d << EOF &&
-#!/bin/sh
-
-# policy-rc.d script for chroots.

-
-while true; do
- case "$1" in
- -*) shift ;;
- makedev) exit 0;;
- *)
- echo "Not running services in chroot."
- exit 101
- ;;
- esac
-done
-EOF
- chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/policy-rc.d
-
-#*) install and setup locales and install libnss-db
- apt-get install locales-all
-
-# (if locales-all is not feasible on the machine because of say
-# disk constraints then install just locales and enable at
-# least "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" and "en_US ISO-8859-1".)
-#
-#*) setup nsswitch.conf to properly use the ldap stuff
- # [dchroot]: apt-get install libnss-db &&
- # sed -i -e 's/^passwd:\[[:space:]]\+compat$/passwd: compat db/;
- # s/^group:\[[:space:]]\+compat$/group: db compat/;
- # s/^shadow:\[[:space:]]\+compat$/shadow: compat db/' \
- # /etc/nsswitch.conf
-#
-#
-# *)
- apt-get install vim fakeroot devscripts gdb zsh dialog tcsh
-# edit the sources.list in the chroot and add contrib/non-free to the
-# primary source, a security updates source, and deb-src entries for both.
-# It should end up looking something like
- (
- echo "deb http://$MIRROR/debian $DIST main contrib non-free"
- echo "deb-src http://$MIRROR/debian $DIST main contrib non-free"
- if [ "$DIST" != "sid" ] ; then
- echo "deb http://security.debian.org $DIST/updates main contrib non-free"
- echo "deb-src http://security.debian.org $DIST/updates main contrib non-free"
- fi
- ) > /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
-#
-#
-# *)
-# exit the chroot
- exit
-}}}
-
-* [dchroot only] edit /etc/fstab on the system root and add entries to mount /proc and /home
-in the chroot, there will be existing ones for the other chroots, just copy and
-adjust. Then mount them (from the system root).

-
-* [schroot] set up /etc/schroot/chroot.d/ correctly.
- [dchroot]: edit /etc/dchroot.conf in the system root, add an entry for $DIST, and update the stable and testing pointers
-
-* [dchroot]: run ud-replicate so the new chroot is setup (this would happen via cron eventually, this is just to speed things up)
-{{{
- ud-replicate
-}}}
-
-* as a normal user, test that the new chroot works: "dchroot $DIST" or "schroot $DIST", test that the stable and testing pointers work.
