DESCRIPTION¶
adt-virt-chroot provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a
chroot install (or similar).
Normally
adt-virt-chroot will be invoked by
adt-run.
The chroot to use must be specified. If it starts with a
= character then
it is taken to be a chroot name known to
dchroot(8). Otherwise it must
start with a
/ and will be taken to an absolute path.
OPTIONS¶
- --gain-root|-r gain-root-cmd
- Specifies that adt-virt-chroot can become root (on
the host) by prefixing its commands with gain-root-cmd. The command
may consist of several words separated by whitespace, in which case words
other than the first are supplied as additional arguments to the command;
other shell (or other) metacharacters in gain-root-cmd are not
interpreted or modified by adt-virt-chroot. The actual command to
be run as root, and its arguments, are supplied as additional (separate)
arguments to gain-root-cmd.
Root privilege is needed, to successfully run chroot(8), if the
chroot to use is specified as an absolute path. The default is not to take
any special action when root will be needed, in which case for an absolute
path chroot, adt-virt-chroot must be started as root.
- -d | --debug
- Enables debugging output. Probably not hugely interesting.
The behaviour of
adt-virt-chroot is as described by the AutomatedTesting
virtualisation regime specification.
