# The su_debuild Puppet module

## Overview

The `su_debuild` Puppet classes will set up a complete Debian build
systems on your Debian server. This includes chroots to allow for the use
of `pbuilder` and gbp buildpackage`.

## Installing the necessary packages

If all you need are the packages and not the chroot environments, you do this:

    include su_debian

Note that this will allow you to run most of the Debian packaging commands
including `dpkg-buildpackage` but not any of the commands that require a
chroot.

## Installing chroot environments

To install chroot environments use the `su_debuild::chroots` class. For
example, the following will setup the necessary packages and install
chroot environments for Debian `sid`, `stretch`, `jessie`, and Ubuntu
`bionic`

    include su_debuild
    class { 'su_debuild::chroots':
      chroots => [ 'sid', 'stretch', 'jessie', 'bionic']
    }

The above also installs a daily cron job to update the chroots.
