Updates the base.tgz for the specified distribution. Also,
by specifying the --override-config option, it is possible to install a new
apt-line using the
given options and settings in the configuration file for the
base.tgz.
For example, to switch the distribution of an existing base.tgz
to lenny, specify the --distribution lenny --override-config options to update.
and
--othermirror [deb http://xxx/xxx/ ./ | other deb lines... ]
The lines which is added to the sources.list, delimited with |
Like deb http://local/mirror stable main|deb file:/usr/local/mirror ./
The deb lines here are the ones that will appear at the top
of the sources.list inside the chroot. Be sure to follow the syntax rules of
sources.list(5).
These lines appear at the beginning of the constructed sources
file, so this is the place to list your local mirror sites; apt will then use
them in preference
to the ones listed in --mirror .
--distribution [distribution]
Specifies the distribution used. Currently the supported values
are sid etch lenny and experimental .
--components [components]
Specifies the default distribution components to use. eg. "main
contrib non-free". Default is "main".
--override-config
Specify to use different apt set up inside the chroot than it
was used for creating the base.tgz. Specify this when you want to do pbuilder
--update with a
different distribution target set up.
--distribution , --components , --mirror , --othermirror options
are only valid when --override-config option is specified in --update target,
or when pbuilder
--create is being called.
So they are, in both directions.
