autopkgtest-schroot - autopkgtest virtualisation server using a schroot
autopkgtest [...] -- schroot [
options]
schroot-name
autopkgtest-schroot provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a
schroot. Normally
autopkgtest-schroot will be invoked by
autopkgtest.
The schroot name to use must be specified.
Only use this with schroots
that provide temporary sessions, i. e. with
type=file or
type=directory and a configured
union-type.
autopkgtest-schroot will refuse to work with a static
"directory" type schroot.
You can use
mk-sbuild(1) to conveniently create schroots.
If you can access the schroot as your user (according to the schroot's
users/
groups configuration), you should run
autopkgtest-schroot (and autopkgtest itself) as normal user,
too.
autopkgtest-schroot reads the schroot configuration (
root-users/
root-groups) to determine whether it can enter the
schroot as root user; if so, it sets the
root-on-testbed capability and
you can run tests which require building or running as root. If your user is
not allowed to do that, you need to run
autopkgtest as root instead.
-
-s ID | --session-id=ID
- Use a custom schroot session ID. This allows the user to
easily identify hung sessions in schroot --list --all-sessions.
-
-d | --debug
- Enables debugging output.
The behaviour of
autopkgtest-schroot is as described by the
AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.
