CONSFIGURATOR.PROPERTY.SCHROOT

API reference

General

Property: SCHROOT:INSTALLED

(schroot:installed)

Ensure that schroot(1) is installed.

Property: SCHROOT:USES-OVERLAYS

(schroot:uses-overlays)

Indicate that schroots on a host should use ‘union-type=overlay’.

Adding this property does not actually ensure that the line ‘union-type=overlay’ is present in any schroot config files. See SBUILD:BUILT for example usage, via SCHROOT:OVERLAYS-IN-TMPFS.

Property: SCHROOT:OVERLAYS-IN-TMPFS

(schroot:overlays-in-tmpfs)

Configure schroot(1) such that all schroots with ‘union-type=overlay’ in their configuration will run their overlays in a tmpfs. Unapplicable, so if the package you are working on FTBFS when overlays are in tmpfs, you can toggle this off for a host, and then toggle it back on again later.

Implicitly sets SCHROOT:USES-OVERLAYS.
