I am using pbuilder-dist to build my packages for Debian unstable and Ubuntu Precise. I want to know how to run lintian (and possibly other commands) inside a certain chroot.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 on my machine.
Lintian can be run inside cowbuilder or pbuilder using hooks.
Several examples are available in /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/
Just copy the hook you want to a directory:
mkdir ~/pbuilderhooks
cp /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/B90lintian $HOME/pbuilderhooks
Then tell pbuilder to use the hooks in that directory:
echo "HOOKDIR=$HOME/pbuilderhooks/" >> ~/.pbuilderrc
And/or:
echo "HOOKDIR=$HOME/pbuilderhooks/" | sudo tee -a /etc/pbuilderrc
The first is required if you intend to run cowbuilder-dist or pbuilder-dist without sudo; the latter if you intend to run sudo cowbuilder or sudo pbuilder. Use tee -a to avoid overwriting the original /etc/pbuilderrc file.
