pbuilder

Personal package builder for .deb packages

pbuilder constructs a chroot system, and builds a package inside the chroot. It uses apt extensively, and a local mirror, or a fast connection to a Debian/Ubuntu 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 developers, to allow running pbuilder just like "debuild", as a normal user.
