Package: sbuild-qemu
Version: 0.85.6
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: invernom...@paranoici.org
Hi!
I am trying to set up sbuild-qemu to build (and test) Debian packages.
After creating the virtual machine image:
$ mkdir -p ~/.cache/sbuild/build
$ cd /dev/shm
$ TMPDIR=/dev/shm mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu \
--size=25G --boot=efi sid unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img
$ mv -i unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img ~/.cache/sbuild/
I prepared the following configuration file:
$ cat ~/.sbuildrc
$source_only_changes = 1;
$autopkgtest_require_success = 1;
$lintian_require_success = 0;
$piuparts_require_success = 1;
$run_autopkgtest = 1;
$run_lintian = 1;
$run_piuparts = 1;
$build_dir = "$HOME/.cache/sbuild/build";
# don't remove this, Perl needs it:
1;
I can update the virtual machine (if I create a symlink, see bug [#1061816]):
$ sbuild-qemu-update --boot=efi unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img
[#1061816]: <https://bugs.debian.org/1061816#98>
But, when I try to build a package from withing the unpacked source
tree:
$ sbuild-qemu --boot=efi --overlay-dir=/dev/shm
sbuild --dist unstable --purge-build=never --purge-deps=never
--chroot-mode=autopkgtest --autopkgtest-virt-server=qemu
--autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --overlay-dir=/dev/shm
--autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --qemu-architecture=x86_64
--autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --ram-size=2048 --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt
--cpus=2 --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt --boot=efi --autopkgtest-virt-server-opt
/home/$USER/.cache/sbuild/unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img
--bd-uninstallable-explainer apt
Error reading configuration: PIUPARTS binary 'piuparts' does not exist or is
not executable at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Conf.pm line 76.
Now, piuparts is indeed not installed on the host:
$ apt policy piuparts
piuparts:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.4.1
Version table:
1.4.1 800
800 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
However, I thought that setting $run_piuparts = 1 in ~/.sbuildrc caused
piuparts to be run inside the virtual machine guest system, not on the
host system!
Hence, I thought that piuparts was going to be automatically installed
and executed on the guest system (actually on the throw-away overlay).
And I thought that the same was going to happen for $run_autopkgtest = 1
and for $run_lintian = 1 ...
Am I completely off-track?
What did I fail to understand?
Why does sbuild-qemu insist that piuparts be installed on the *host*
system?
Please clarify and/or fix this issue.
Thanks for your kind assistance!
